B) 3 gallons

Answer 2

Total water consumption by Jeffery and Amy in 2 days is 2.8125 gallons

Explanation:

Amount of water Jefferey Drinks each day = 90 ounces

So, the amount of water Jeffery drinks in 2 days = 90 x 2 = 180 ounces

Similarly, water required by Amy each day = 90 ounces

So, the amount of water Amy drinks in 2 days = 90 x 2 = 180 ounces

Total water consumption by Jeffery and Amy in 2 days

=180 ounces + 180 ounces

= 360 ounces

Now, 1 ounce = 0.0078125 gallons

So, 360 ounces = (360 x 0.0078125) gallons

= 2.8125 gallons

Hence, Total water consumption by Jeffery and Amy in 2 days is 2.8125 gallons
