A toilet is leaking at the rate of 1 fluid ounces per minute. How many gallons is
the toilet leaking per hour?
O 0.47 gal/hr
O 0.94 gal/hr
O 28.13 gal/hr
O 2.13 gal/hr

Respuesta :

1 gallon (gal) = 128 fluid ounce (fl oz)

1 hour (hr) = 60 minutes (min)

Convert 1 fl oz/min to gal/hr.

[tex]\dfrac{1\,\rm fl.oz}{1\,\rm min} \times \dfrac{1\,\rm gal}{128\,\rm fl.oz} \times \dfrac{60\,\rm min}{1\,\rm hr} = \dfrac{60}{128} \dfrac{\rm gal}{\rm hr} \approx \boxed{0.47 \dfrac{\rm gal}{\rm hr}}[/tex]
