Final answer:

The patient drinks 4.5 cups of milk per day, and therefore, drinks 31.5 cups of milk per week.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a patient drinks 1½ (one and a half) cups of milk three times a day, to calculate how many cups of milk they drink per day, you would multiply the amount of milk they drink at one time by the number of times they drink it per day. This would be:

1.5 cups/time × 3 times/day = 4.5 cups/day.

To find out how many cups the patient drinks per week, you would then multiply the daily amount by seven:

4.5 cups/day × 7 days/week = 31.5 cups/week.
