Answer:

Explanation:

First, we convert:

  • ounces to cups
  • weeks to hours

Result of conversion:

  • 91 fluid ounces = 11.375 cups (1 cup = 8 ounces)
  • 2.5 weeks = 420 hours (1 week = 168 hours)

To get the rate, we must divide the number of cups by number of hours

11.375 cups / 420 hours = 0.027 cups per hour = 0.03 cups per hour (approximated)

Hope that helps!
