    A 50-gallon water heater leaks .125 gallons of water every 14 minutes. How long until it is completely empty?

    50 gallons / .125 gallons leaked = 400 (14 min increments)

    400 (14 min increments) * 14 minutes = 5600 minutes

    5600 minutes / 60 minutes per hour = 93 hours and 20 minutes
