Question

Lamar drinks 8 ounces of water with breakfast, 6 ounces of water with his vitamins, 16 ounces of water with his lunch, 16 ounces of water with his dinner, and 32 ounces of water from a bottle he carries throughout the day. Write and evaluate a numerical expression for the amount of water in ounces that he drinks in a week.

Answer 1

Given:

Lamar drinks water with,

Breakfast = 8 ounces

Vitamins = 6 ounces

Lunch = 16 ounces

Dinner = 16 ounces

Bottle = 32 ounces

To find:

The a numerical expression for the amount of water in ounces that he drinks in a week.

Solution:

One day consumption of water by Lamar is

`8+6+16+16+32=78`

We know that,

1 week = 7 days

One day consumption of water = 78 ounces

1 week (7 days) consumption of water = 7× One day consumption of water

= 7×(8+6+16+16+32) ounces

= 7×78 ounces

= 546 ounces

Therefore, the required numerical expression for the amount of water in ounces that he drinks in a week is 7×(8+6+16+16+32) ounces and the value is 546 ounces.
