Answer 2

B. 101 fl oz

Explanation:

We have been that some doctors recommend that men drink 3 liters of water every day . There are approximately 29.6 milliliters in 1 fluid ounce.

We know that 1 liter equals 1000 ml.

3 liters = 3,000 ml.

To find the number of fluid ounces in 3 liters, we will divide number of milliliters in 3 liters by number of milliliters in 1 fluid ounce.

`\text{The number of fluid ounces in 3 liters}=(3000)/(29.6)`

`\text{The number of fluid ounces in 3 liters}=101.35135135\approx 101`

Therefore, there are 101 fluid ounces in 3 liters of water and option B is the correct choice.
