    Tank B

    Step-by-step explanation:

    In gallons per minute, the leak rates are ...

    Tank A: (1/16 gal) / (1/12 min) = 12/16 gal/min = 3/4 gal/min

    Tank B: (3/80 gal) / (1/30 min) = 90/80 gal/min = 9/8 gal/min

    Tank A leaks less than 1 gallon per minute, while Tank B leaks more than 1 gallon per minute.

    Tank B is leaking faster.
