Question

Chloe is drinking 3/5 cup of water every 6 minutes. How many cups will they drink in 2 hours?

Answer 1

Explanation:

12 cups. You have to divide 120 by 6, then you divide that answer (20) by 3/5, which is 0.6 in decimal form, your answer should be 12 cups of water.

Answer 2

12 cups

Explanation:

One of the easiest ways to solve this problem is to first turn the fraction into a decimal. 3/5=0.6

The second step is to see how much water Chloe drinks in an hour. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour and 6 times 10 is 60, we do 0.6 times 10 to see how much water Chloe drinks in one hour. 0.6x10=6

The third and final step is to double 6. We do this because 6 is how many cups of water Chloe drinks in one hour, but we need to find two. 6x2=12.

Therefore, Chloe would drink 12 cups of water in 2 hours.
