Answer 8

What I got so far: So it started at 6 gallons, and in 10 hours was empty. That means the leak is 6 gallons per 10 hours
Convert the leak rate of 10 gallons per 6 hours to ounces per hour.
10 gallons= 1280 oz.

Answer 9

768/10

Answer 10

That doesn't really help

Answer 11

I have to explain how I got the answer, and pretend like I am walking someone through the problem.

Answer 12

128 ounces in a gallon
6 gallons so you multiply 6 gallons by the number of ounces in a gallon and you get the total number of ounces. then you divide it by the total number of hours

Answer 13
