Answer:
3/4 bucket
Step-by-step explanation:
Elle placed a bucket under a leaky roof. The bucket was 3/10 full after 2/5 of an hour. How much water is leaking per hour
Water leaking : time taken
Let x = amount of water leaking per hour
3/10 : 2/5 = x : 1
3/10 ÷ 2/5 = x / 1
3/10 × 5/2 = x / 1
15 / 20 = x / 1
Cross product
15 * 1 = 20 * x
15 = 20x
x = 15/20
= 3/4
3/4 bucket of water is leaking per hour
