Question

A container of water holds 128 fluid ounces. Tyler drinks 4 fluid ounces of water every hour. How many fluid ounces are in the container after 8 hours?

Answer 1

After Tyler drinks 4 fluid ounces of water every hour for 8 hours, starting from a container holding 128 fluid ounces, there will be 96 fluid ounces of water remaining in the container.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the remaining fluid ounces of water in the container after Tyler drinks water for 8 hours, we start with the initial amount of water, which is 128 fluid ounces.

Next, we need to determine how much Tyler consumes in total over the 8-hour period. Since Tyler drinks 4 fluid ounces each hour, we multiply 4 fluid ounces by 8 hours:

4 fluid ounces/hour × 8 hours = 32 fluid ounces

Now, we subtract the total amount Tyler has consumed from the initial amount of water in the container:

128 fluid ounces - 32 fluid ounces = 96 fluid ounces

Therefore, after 8 hours, there are 96 fluid ounces of water left in the container.

Answer 2

8 x 4 is 32... so, 128 - 32 = 96. There are 96 fluid ounces left in the container after 8 hours.
