Hello.

563blackghost · Answer

Heyo ^^ 

So we want to know how much water leaks per hour so our equation would have gallons over hour so which would that be?

563blackghost · Answer

$\Huge{\frac{gallons}{per~hour}}$

mrhirohito · Answer

50 and 12?

mrhirohito · Answer

50 would be gallons and 12 would be per hour e.e

563blackghost · Answer

Correct ^^

mrhirohito · Answer

so A.?

563blackghost · Answer

That is one option....what would be another?

mrhirohito · Answer

D?

mrhirohito · Answer

wait e.e no not D.

mrhirohito · Answer

B?

563blackghost · Answer

So since we know of our equation as $\LARGE{\frac{50~gallons}{12~hour}}$ That would mean that when we find the rate of gallons leaking per hour we would multiply that by 12 and get 500 gallons which is the total so with this said which would you think is the answer?

563blackghost · Answer

$\LARGE{500~gallons=12h \times~ rate~ of~ gallons~ leaking}$

This is the equation to my explanation....

mrhirohito · Answer

i think A. and C. is correct if not A. and B. Because D. is not correct.

563blackghost · Answer
