Answer:

She drinks 4.5 oz in 1 hour.

Explanation:

First,

1/2 of 6 would be 3

Shawnte drinks 3 ounces of water in 2/3 hrs.

3 oz = 2 / 3 hr

Multiply both sides by 3 to get 2 alone.

3*(3 oz) = 3*(2/3 hr)

9 oz = 2 hrs

She drinks 9 ounces of water in 2 hours.

9 / 2 oz = 2 / 2 hrs

Divide both sides by 2 so you can get how much she drinks in one hours

4.5 oz = 1 hr

An easier way of doing this is dividing both sides by (2/3)

3 oz = 2/3 hrs

Divide both sides by 2/3

4.5 oz = 1 hrs

And boom
