1. unit rate of water dripped per day is [tex]\dfrac{8}{5}[/tex] or  1.6 gallons.

   Step-by-step explanation:

   We fist have to ask ourselves how many 10 hours are in a day— the answer is

   [tex]number\:of\:10\:hours\:in\:a\:day=\dfrac{24\:hours}{day} *\dfrac{1}{10\:hours} =\dfrac{12}{5} =2.4[/tex]

   there are  [tex]\dfrac{12}{5}[/tex] or 2.4 sets of 10-hours in day.

   Now the unit rate of water dripped per day is

   [tex]\dfrac{2/3\:gallons}{10\:hours}*\dfrac{12}{5} = \dfrac{8}{5} =1.6\:gallons/day[/tex]

   unit rate of water dripped per day is [tex]\dfrac{8}{5}[/tex] or  1.6 gallons.
