Answer:
The volume of water the pond will lose in 31 hours is 17.71 gallons.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
Rate of water leakage, R = 12 gallon of water in 23 hours
[tex]R = \frac{12 \ gallons}{23 \ hours}[/tex]
In 31 hours the volume of water leaked is calculated as;
[tex]V = \frac{12 \ gallons}{21 \ hours} \times 31 \ hours\\\\V = 17.71 \ gallons[/tex]
Therefore, the volume of water the pond will lose in 31 hours is 17.71 gallons.
