A liquid storage container is leaking at a rate of 2/3 gallon every 1/4 hour. What is the unite rate?

2 gallons an hour

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a fraction equal to

2 gal ÷ 1 hours

We want a unit rate where

1 is in the denominator,

so we divide top and bottom by 1

2 gal

÷ 1

1 hours

÷ 1

=

2 gal

1 hour

=

2 gal

hour

= 2 gal per hour

3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 ÷ 2/3 = 3/8

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
