A faucet was leaking at a rate of 3 ounces per minute. What is the rate in gallons per week?

Rate per week=30,240 gallons per week

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine number of minutes in a week

1 week = 7 days

1 day=24 hours

This implies;

1 week = (7*24) = 168 hours

On the same note;

1 hour=60 minutes

168 hours=168*60=10,080 minutes

This implies that there are 10,080 minutes in a week

1 week=10,080 minutes

Determine the total rate per week using the expression;

rate per week=rate per minute*number of minutes per week

where;

rate per minutes=3 ounces per minute

number of minutes per week=10,080 minutes

rate per week=3*10,080=30,240 gallons per week

Rate per week=30,240 gallons per week
