a leaky faucet in kali's house drips water at a rate of 42 gallons per week. how many gallons does the faucet drip in 3 days

Question

please help me! I'm terrible at these kinds of problems!

Answer 1

42 gallons/week * 1 week/7 days * 3 days = 18 gallons

Note how the day and week units divide out,leaving only gallons. If you include units and make sure that they divide out, you will always get the right answer.
