Question

Hye Lim drank 4/3 gallons of water in 11/2 hours. At this rate, how long will it take her to drink 4 gallons of water?

Answer 1

16.5 hours

Explanation:

Here is the explanation. As Hye drinks 4/3 gallons of water in 11/2 hours, we have a constant rate. There are 12 thirds in 4, so we are trying to find how long it takes Hye to drink 12/3 gallon. In this case, 4/3x3=12/3, so we multiply 11/2 by 3 as well, which gives us 33/2 hours. 33/2 in decimal form is 16.5 hours. Hope it helps!
