Question 1149661: It takes 6 gallons of water to fill a cooler. A leak developed in the bottom of the cooler when
it was full, and 10 hours later it was empty. At what average rate in ounces per hour did the

You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are 128 fluid ounces in a gallon, therefore
:
128 * 6 = 768 fluid ounces in 6 gallons of water
:
ounces per hour for 10 hours = 768/10 = 76.8
