Water is your body's principal chemical component and makes up about 60 percent of your body weight. Your body depends on water to survive. About 20 percent of daily fluid intake usually comes from food and the rest from drinks.The formula to water intake calculator is:c=[w∗ f∗ g+12∗ m30]/8 where:c = fluid amount in cupsw = weight in poundsf = age factor (0.642 for age < 30; 0.56 for 30 < age < 55; 0.481 for age > 55)g = gender factor (1 for male; 0.73 for female)m = exercise time in minutesExample 1: Find the water intake amount for a male of 20 years old, weight 158 pounds, exercise 50 minutes dailySolution: w = 158, f = 0.642 (age < 30), g = 1 (male), m = 50 cups

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the formula provided in the question, the formula for water intake amount is C = [w × f × (g+12) × m × 30]/8

where c is the fluid amount in cups

w is the weight in pounds (158 pounds)

f is the age factor (0.642 because the age is below 30)

g is the gender actor (1 because the individual is a male)

m is the exercise time in minutes (50 minutes)

c = 158 × 0.642 × (1 + 12) × 50 × 30/8

c = 1978001.99/8

c = 247250.25 cups

NOTE: Kindly verify the formula in this question before proceeding to practicing the steps in this answer
