Answer 1

Answer: Lin needs to drink 27 ounces of water to reach her goal.

Step-by-step explanation: 1 cup = 8 fluid ounces.

8 cups = 8 x 8 = 64 ounces.

As of now Lin has drank 37 ounces of water. So, this means till now she has drank 37/8 = 4.625 cups of water.

In terms of ounces, she needs to drink 64-37=27 ounces of water to reach her goal.

Hence, the answer is 27 ounces or 8-4.625=3.375 cups.
