1 quart = 32 fluid ounces

Therefore, 64 fluid ounces = 2 quarts

Jeremiah can drink these 2 quarts in 4 days meaning he drinks


2\frac{\text{quarts}}{4\text{days }}=0.5\frac{\text{quarts}}{\text{days}}

Now, there are 24 hours in a day; therefore, the number of quarts Jeremiah drinks in 1 hour is


\frac{0.5\text{quarts}}{24\text{hours}}=(1)/(48)\frac{\text{quarts}}{\text{days}}

or in decimal form, this is 0.021 quarts in an hour.
