Problem

Evaluate whether \(0.2~\text{gallon}~\text{per}~\text{minute}\) is a slow leak under the criterion of at most \(0.02~\text{gallon}~\text{per}~\text{minute}\). Assess the unit fit, perform the threshold comparison, and classify the leak.

Answer choices

Choose your path.

Preview only

unit fit = yes, gallons/minute measures volume flow rate; threshold test = no comparison with 0.02 is made; classification = slow because 0.2 looks small

unit fit = no, leaks use gallons without time; threshold test = 0.2>0.02 and is 10 times the maximum; classification = not a slow leak

unit fit = yes, gallons/minute measures volume flow rate; threshold test = 0.2≤0.02; classification = slow leak

unit fit = yes, gallons/minute measures volume flow rate; threshold test = 0.2>0.02 and is 10 times the maximum; classification = not a slow leak under the stated criterion
