Answer:

4. 3/4 bucket per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The bucket was 3/10 full after 2/5 of an hour.

How much water is leaking per hour.

Quantity of water leaking per hour = 3/10 ÷ 2/5

= 3/10 × 5/2

= 15/20

= 3/4

Quantity of water leaking per hour = 3/4 bucket per hour

The answer is

4. 3/4 bucket per hour

Check:

3/4 × 2/5

= 6/20

= 3/10
