Answer:

(C) 5/7 bottle

Explanation:

Given data

  • Bottles of water drunk: 5 bottles
  • Volleyball practices: 7 practices

We can find how much water Elena drank each practice, considering she drank the same amount each time, by dividing the bottles of water drunk by the number of volleyball practices.

5 bottle / 7 practice = 5/7 bottle/practice

She drank 5/7 bottle per practice.
