On the given rate, a person will drink 45 3/4 in a leap year

The average per day is given as:

Average = 1 pint

Convert to gallon

Average = 0.125 gallon

In a leap year, the number of gallons would be:

Gallons = Average * Days

This gives

Gallons = 0.125 * 366

Evaluate

Gallons = 45.75

Express as fraction

Gallons = 45 3/4

Hence, a person will drink 45 3/4 in a leap year
