It is a Saturday morning and Jeremy has discovered he has a leak coming from the water heater in his attic.
Since plumbers charge extra to come out on
weekends, Jeremy is planning to use buckets to catch
the dripping water.
He places a bucket under the drip and steps outside to
walk the dog.
After 1 1/2 hours, Jeremy had collected 1/4 cup of
water.
a. What is the rate, in cups per hour, at which the water
is leaking from the water heater?
