Marge's home is heated by hot water circulating in pipes. Recently, the system developed a small leak. It loses 2 1/3 milliters every 24 minutes. Use this complex fraction to find the change of the amount of water in the system per minute.

[tex]2\dfrac{1}{3}\ \text{mL}=24\ \text{minutes}\\\Rightarrow 1\ \text{minute}=\dfrac{2\dfrac{1}{3}}{24}\ \text{mL}\\\Rightarrow 1\ \text{minute}=\dfrac{\dfrac{7}{3}}{24}\ \text{mL}\\\Rightarrow 1\ \text{minute}=\dfrac{7}{3}\times\dfrac{1}{24}\\\Rightarrow 1\ \text{minute}=\dfrac{7}{72}\ \text{mL}[/tex]

The rate at which the amount of water changes per minute is [tex]\dfrac{7}{72}\ \text{mL/minute}[/tex]
