Answer 1

Answer: for #1. 10.5 cups of water. For #3. 55 people

Explanation:

You must take the total amount of fluid ounces and divide it by how many ounces in a cup, which is 8.

You must divide the amount of people that tested positive by the percentage (as a decimal) of people tested. In this case, it would be 22 divided by 0.4.
