Question

Ryan drinks 1 1/2 liters of water every 3/4 of an hour at a constant rate. How many liters of water does Ryan drink in one hour

Answer 1

2 litres of water

Explanation:

If Ryan drinks 1 1/2 liters of water every 3/4 of an hour at a constant rate, this can also be expressed as;

1 1/2 litres = 3/4 hour

To get the amount of litres Ryan drank for 1 hour

x = 1 hour

Divide both equations

(3/2)/x = (3/4)/1

3/2x = 3/4

2x * 3 = 3 * 4

6x = 12

x = 12/6

x = 2

Hence Ryan drinks 2 litres of water in an hour
