The janitor at a school discovered a leak in a pipe. The janitor found that it was leaking at a rate of
3
fl oz per
minuteminute.
How fast was the pipe leaking in gallons per
hourhour?
It will leak at 3 * 60 minutes = 180 oz per hour
So
180 oz / hr * 1 gal / 128 oz = (cancel the units)
180 / 128 gal / hr =
45 / 32 gal / hr =
1.40625 gal / hr
