Answer :
The pipe leaking in gallons per day is [tex]\frac{69}{16}[/tex] gallons/day.
The Janitor find the leakage in the pipe at a rate of [tex]23[/tex] fl oz per hour.
We have to find how fast was the pipe leaking in gallons per day.
To find the leaking in gallons per day we have to convert [tex]23[/tex] fl oz per hour into gallons per day.
As we know that
[tex]1[/tex] gallon[tex]=128[/tex] fl oz
So [tex]1[/tex] fl oz[tex]=\frac{1}{128}[/tex] gallons
There are [tex]24[/tex] hours in a day so we multiply with [tex]24[/tex] to convert in day.
So the expression should be
[tex]=23[/tex] fl oz/hours[tex]\times\frac{1}{128}[/tex] gallons/fl oz[tex]\times24[/tex] hours/day
[tex]=\frac{23\times24}{128}[/tex] gallons/day
[tex]=\frac{23\times3}{16}\\[/tex] gallons/day
[tex]=\frac{69}{16}[/tex] gallons/day
Hence, the pipe leaking in gallons per day is [tex]\frac{69}{16}[/tex] gallons/day.
