Question

Molly loves hamburgers and soft drinks, but insists on consuming exactly one soft drink for every two hamburgers that she eats. How many soft drinks will Molly consume if she eats 6 hamburgers?

1) 1
2) 2
3) 3
4) 4

Answer 1

Molly consumes one soft drink for every two hamburgers. For 6 hamburgers, she will have 6 divided by 2, resulting in 3 soft drinks.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to calculate how many soft drinks Molly will consume if she eats 6 hamburgers, given that she insists on consuming exactly one soft drink for every two hamburgers. To find the answer, we need to divide the number of hamburgers by two, since she drinks one soft drink for every two hamburgers. Therefore, if Molly eats 6 hamburgers, the number of soft drinks she will consume is 6 ÷ 2 = 3 soft drinks.

Based on this calculation, the answer is option 3) 3 soft drinks.
