Question

On average, Bentley drinks 3/5 of an 8-ounce glass of water in 3/4 of an hour. How many glasses of water does he drink in one hour?​

Answer 1

Answer: 0.8

Explanation:

To solve the problem, we need to figure out how much water Bentley can drink in one hour. We can start by finding out how much water he drinks in one minute:

3/4 hour = 45 minutes

3/5 of an 8-ounce glass of water in 45 minutes = (3/5) x (8) x (1/45) = 0.1067 ounces per minute

Now we can find out how much water Bentley drinks in one hour:

0.1067 ounces per minute x 60 minutes = 6.4 ounces per hour

Since Bentley drinks 8 ounces of water in a full glass, he drinks:

6.4 ounces per hour ÷ 8 ounces per glass = 0.8 glasses of water in one hour

Therefore, Bentley drinks 0.8 glasses of water in one hour.
