4) Margie sees that she has a steadily dripping faucet in the tub that she can not turn off. She places a 1 gallon bucket underneath it. The faucet drips at a rate of one drop per 3 seconds. 3 drops make a teaspoon. If 3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon, 16 tablespoon = 1 cup, 1 cup = 8 ounces, 1 gallon = 128
ounces, how long before the bucket is full? Express your answer in whole numbers of hours, minutes and seconds.

5) Pictured below is the drawing of a wood block from a toy set
that looks like two steps. The drawing is not to scale. The height of the two steps and the width of the bottom step are all the same given by D. The total height of the steps marked with A is 2 cm. The width of the bottom of the block labeled with B is 2.5 cm. The length of the block given by C is 3 cm. Find the surface area of the entire block.

- Since 2 Ds make A, D = ___ cm.
- Using these dimensions, add up all the parts of the block:
- Total = _____ sq. cm.
