Question

You find out your faucet is leaking 10 pints of water every 3 hours. After 6 hours, how many gallons of water will have leaked from the faucet?

How do I solve this problem?

Answer 1

6 hours is twice as long as 3 hours, so twice as many pints will leak: 2*10 = 20

So now you have to ask, how many gallons is that?

one gallon is 8 pints, so I think now you should have no trouble.
