Answer

Answer 1

Khloe drinks 1 1/5 glasses of water per hour, as she consumes 4/5 of a 10-ounce glass in 2/3 of an hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to calculate how much water Khloe drinks in glasses per hour. Since Khloe drinks 4/5 of a 10-ounce glass in 2/3 of an hour, we first find out how much she drinks in one hour. To do this, we divide the amount she drinks in 2/3 of an hour by 2/3 to get the hourly rate.

Khloe drinks (4/5) × 10 ounces = 8 ounces in 2/3 of an hour.

To find out how much she drinks in one hour, we calculate: 8 ounces ÷ (2/3) = 8 ounces × (3/2) = 12 ounces per hour. Since she drinks from a 10-ounce glass, we then convert ounces back into glasses: 12 ounces / 10 ounces per glass = 1 1/5 glasses per hour. This is her drinking rate in glasses per hour.
