On average, Shawnee drinks 1/2 of a 6 ounce glass of water in 2/3 hour. How much water does she drink in an hour?

Answer:

1/2 of 6 = (1/2)*6 = 0.5*6 = 3

Shawnte drinks 3 ounces of water in 2/3 hrs.

3 oz = 2/3 hr

3*(3 oz) = 3*(2/3 hr) .... multiply both sides by 3

9 oz = 2 hrs

She drinks 9 ounces of water in 2 hrs

9/2 oz = 2/2 hrs .... divide both sides by 2

4.5 oz = 1 hr

She drinks 4.5 ounces of water in 1 hour.
