Answer:

Clydesdale drinks a total of 840 gallons in 28 days

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate rate at which water is drank

The expression for the total amount of water drank is;

Total amount of water=quantity drank per day×number of days

where;

quantity drank per day=g

number of days=4 days

total amount of water drank=120 gallons

replacing;

120=(g×4)

4 g=120

g=120/4

g=30

Quantity drank per day=30 gallons per day

Step 2: Total amount he drinks in 28 days

Using the expression;

Total amount of water=quantity drank per day×number of days

where;

quantity drank per day=30 gallons per day

number of days=28 days

replacing;

Total amount of water=(30×28)=840 gallons

Clydesdale drinks a total of 840 gallons in 28 days
