The pump fills 1 tank/2 hours=1/2 tank/hour
\n" ); document.write( "In 2.33 hrs: (1/2 tank/hr)(2.33 hr)=2.33/2 tank=1.165 tank
\n" ); document.write( "The tank is full so 1.165 tank - 1 tank(full)=0.165 tank (leaked)
\n" ); document.write( "It leaks 0.165 tank/2.33 hrs=0.07 tank per hour leaks out
\n" ); document.write( "1 tank/0.07 tank/hr=14.3 hours
\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: The leak will drain the tank in 14.3 hours.
