The janitor at a school discovered a leak in a pipe. The janitor found that it was leaking at a rate of 13 fl oz per hour. How fast was the pipe leaking in gallons per day?

24 hours in a day.....so......

 

Ounces leaked in a day  =    24 * 13   = 312 oz

 

Ounces in a gallon  =    128

 

Gallons leaked per day  =   312 / 128  = 2.4375  gallons

 

 

cool cool cool
