Question

On average, Logan drinks 3/4 of a 12-ounce glass of water in 1 3/4 hours. How many glasses of water does he drink in one hour? Enter your answer as a whole number, proper fraction, or mixed number in simplest form.

Answer 1

Logan drinks 3/7 of a glass of water in one hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many glasses of water Logan drinks in one hour, we need to convert the given time of 1 3/4 hours to 7/4 hours. Then, we can use the unitary method to find the number of glasses of water he drinks in one hour.

Let's set up the proportion:

3/4 glasses of water / 7/4 hours = x glasses of water / 1 hour

Cross-multiplying, we get:

3/4 * 1 hour = 7/4 * x glasses of water

3/4 = 7/4 * x

3/4 * 4/7 = x

12/28 = x

Reducing the fraction, we get:

x = 6/14 = 3/7

Therefore, Logan drinks 3/7 of a glass of water in one hour.
