Answer 1

56 cups of water

Explanation:

Katrina drinks 0.5 gallons of water per day

We have 7 days in a week, hence, the number of gallons of water she drinks per week is calculated as:

1 day = 0.5 gallons

7 days = x

Cross Multiply

1 day × x = 7 days × 0.5 gallons

x = 7 days × 0.5 gallons/1 day

x = 3.5 gallons

Note that 16 cups = 1 gallon

The number of cups of water she drinks per week is

1 gallon = 16 cups

3.5 gallons = x

Cross Multiply

1 gallons × x = 3.5 gallons × 16 cups

x = 3.5 gallons × 16 cups/1 gallons

x = 56 cups

Therefore, Katrina drinks 56 cups of water in a week
