From the information given,

santa drinks one and a 1/2 cup of a 6 oz glass of water in a 2/3 of an hour.

Let x represent the number of cups of 6 oz glass of water that santa drinks in an hour.

Therefore,

1.5 cup = 2/3 hour

x cups = 1 hour

By cross multiplying, it becomes

1 * 1.5 = 2/3 * x

2x/3 = 1.5

2x = 3 * 1.5 = 4.5

x = 4.5/2

x = 2.25

She drinks 2.25 cups of a 6 oz glass of water in 1 hourof a 6 oz
