Solution:
we are given that
water hose is leaking at a rate of 0.25 cups per hour.
We have been asked to find that
how many gallons did you hose leak in a full 24 hour day.
Since water hose is leaking at a rate of 0.25 cups per hour.
It mean the tank will leak by [tex] 0.25*4=1 \ Cup [/tex] in 4 Hours.
So in 24 Hours the tank will leak by [tex] \frac{24}{4}*1=6*1=6 \ Cups [/tex] .
As we know that 1 Gallon=16 Cups.
It mean in 24 Hours the tank leaked by [tex] \frac{1}{16}*6= 0.375 \ Gallon [/tex]
