1 hour is 60 minutes
Therefore, 1/8 of 60 is 7.5, meaning, 1 litre of water is leaked every 7.5 minutes.
3¾ hours is 60 x 3 + 60/4
= 180 + 15
= 195 minutes
As 3 ¾ hours is 195 minutes and 1 litre is leaked every 7.5 minutes, we have to divide 195 by 7.5.
195/7.5 = 26

Therefore, the garden hose will leak 26 litres in 3 ¾ hours.
