Answer:

5 1/2 liters of tea

Explanation:

Brian drinks tea at an incredable rate he drinks 3 1/2 liters of tea every 2/3 of an hour . Ben drinks at a constant rate how many liters of tea does he drink in one hour

3 1/2 =>7/2 => 2/3 hour

Hence:

2/3 hour = 7/2 liters

1 hour = x

Cross Multiply

2/3 x = 1 × 7/2

x = 7/2 ÷ 2/3

x = 7/2 × 3/2

x = 21/4

x = 5 1/4 liters

Hence, Brian drinks 5 1/4 liters in 1 hour
