The faucet in my kitchen has a leak and is constantly dripping. At 7:00 a. m., I placed a measuring cup under the drip. When I got home at 3:00 p. m. the cup was full. If this drip rate
continues, how many gallons of water are wasted in a 7-day period of time?

1.3125 gallons would have been wasted in 7 days

Step-by-step explanation:

mathematically, there are 0.0625 gallons in a measuring cup

So within the time frame, 0.0625 of liquid was lost

The time frame is 8 hours difference

The number of hours in 7 days will be;

7 * 24 = 168 hours

0.0625 gal in 8 hours

x gal in 168 hours

x * 8 = 168 * 0.0625

8x = 10.5

x = 10.5/8

x = 1.3125 gallons

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
