Let B be the number of boys and G= number of girls:

B/G = 2/7 (given)

And

G= 250+B (given), then

B/G = B/(250+B) = 2/7

B/(250+B) = 2/7 → Cross multiplication:

7.B = 2(250+B) → 7.B = 500 + 2.B

5.B = 500  And B = 500/5   And B = 100

Boys = 100  and Girls = 350

Proof: 100/350 = 10/35 = 2/7

Katrina drinks 0.5 gallons of water per day which expression shows how to find the number of cups of water she drinks in a week
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

56 cups of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Katrina drinks 0.5 gallons of water per day

We have 7 days in a week, hence, the number of gallons of water she drinks per week is calculated as:

1 day = 0.5 gallons

7 days = x

Cross Multiply

1 day × x = 7 days × 0.5 gallons

x = 7 days × 0.5 gallons/1 day

x = 3.5 gallons

Note that 16 cups = 1 gallon

The number of cups of water she drinks per week is

1 gallon = 16 cups

3.5 gallons = x

Cross Multiply

1 gallons × x = 3.5 gallons × 16 cups

x = 3.5 gallons × 16 cups/1 gallons

x = 56 cups

Therefore, Katrina drinks 56 cups of water in a week
