Question

To stay properly hydrated, a person should drink 32 fluid ounces of water for every 60 minutes of exercise. How much water should Damon drink if he rides his bike for 135 minutes. Btw this is unit rates.

Answer 1

72 fluid ounces

Explanation:

so we can set this up as a fractional equation

`(32)/(60) =(x)/(135)`

since we know the times, we can use that to determine the amount of fluid ounces a person needs to drink

solve the left side first

`0.533333333 =(x)/(135)`

Then multiply both sides by 135 to isolate x

`72=x`

This means that after 135 minutes of biking, Damon should drink 72 fluid ounces

Hope this Helps :)
