The answer is: 4
Gretchen drunk 4 ounces in 4 equal servings lasting over 2 days.

Answer 2

therefore the total volume of water she drinks - 7 x 16 = 112 ounces

she drinks a total of 112 ounces of water

therefore 4 servings -- 112 ounces

then 1 serving - 112 / 4 = 28 ounces

she drinks 28 ounces of water in each serving
