Question

Jessie brought 3 1/5?cups of water on

a hike. If he drinks 2/5 cup of water
each hour, how many hours will he
have water for?

Answer 1

8 hours

Explanation:

3 1/5 cups, he drinks 2/5 cups every hour

to find the number of hours he has water for, divide the 2 numbers

3 1/5 = 16/5

16/5 divided by 2/5 is equal to 16/5 times 5/2

80/10 equals 8, so he will have water for 8 hours
