Aleaky faucet is losing water and is filling a 6 gallon bucket every 12 hours. at that rate how many gallons of water will the faucet leak in 42 hours

A leaky faucet will leak 21 gallons of water in 42 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount of water leaked in 12 hour = 6 gallons

We need to find number of  gallons of water will faucet leak in 42 hours with that rate.

Solution:

We will first find the Unit rate of filling the bucket;

Now Given:

12 hour = 6 gallons

1 hour = number of gallons filled in bucket in 1 hour

By Using Unitary method we get;

number of gallons filled in bucket in 1 hour =

Now We know that;

1 hour = 0.5 gallons

42 hours = number of gallons of water leaked in 42 hour

Again by using Unitary method we get;

number of gallons of water leaked in 42 hour =

Hence A leaky faucet will leak 21 gallons of water in 42 hours.
