Final answer:
To find the number of friends Clare could have and the amount of water each friend will receive, we set up an inequality and solve for the number of friends. Clare could have 1 friend and each friend will receive 2 liters of water.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the number of friends Clare could have, we need to determine how many liters of water she has. Let's assume she has 'x' liters of water. Each friend will receive between 2 and 3 liters of water, so we can set up an inequality:
2 × (number of friends) ≤ x ≤ 3 × (number of friends)
We can solve this inequality by considering the smallest and largest possible values for 'x' on both sides of the inequality.
If Clare has 2 liters of water, the number of friends she could have is 1. If Clare has 3 liters of water, the number of friends she could have is 1. Therefore, Clare could have 1 friend to share 2-3 liters of water with.
Each friend will receive 2 liters of water.
