+130085 Note...... 1 + 1/3 = 4/3
So.....it leaks 1 gallon every 4/3 months
And m varies directly with the number of gallons, g, leaked....
So
m = kg and we know that m = 4/3 and g = 1.......so we can find k thusly :
(4/3) = k (1) implies that k = 4/3
So ..... m =(4/3)g
So....we want to find out how long it will take to leak 7 galllons........
m = (4/3) (7)
m = 28/3 = 9 + 1/3 months
The second answer is correct
