Question

A leaky water faucet loses 0.25 liter of water

every 2 hours. At this rate, how many liters
of water will it lose in 24 hours?

Answer 1

3 liters.

Explanation:

You can write the problem as an equation.

f(x)=0.125x

Where x is the number of hours. The 0.125 is how many liters the faucet loses in 1 hour. Then, just plug in 24.

0.125*24=3
