an above ground swimming pool is leaking. After half an hour the pool has leaked 7/8 of a gallon of water. how many gallons of water does a pool leak per hour. BTW it is supposed to be a ratio

7/4 gallon per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

If the leak rate is a constant, in twice the time, twice the amount of water will have leaked.

2 * 1/2 hour = 1 hour

2 * 7/8 gallon = 7/4 gallon

So, the leak rate is 7/4 gallon per hour.
