Ruben put an empty cup underneath a leaking faucet. after 1 1\2 hours, ruben collected 1/4 cup of water. what is the rate, in cups per hour, at which the water is leaking from the faucet?

6 cups per hour.

Step-by-step explanation: You divide 1 1/2 by 1/4. So then you turn the mixed number into an improper fraction. To do this, you multiply the denominator by the whole number, so 2 times 1 and then add the numerator, so three. then you do 3/2 divided by 1/4. Then, you do Keep Change Flip. This applies to every division problem with fraction.  Keep 2/3, change the division symbol to multiplication, and then flip the fraction from 1/4 to 4/1. Then you multiply straight across. Numerator times Numerator. So 3 times 4, which is 12. And then denominator times denominator 2 times 1. You then get 12/2, equal to 6. So 6 cups per hour.
