Answer 2

Answer:

Total water consumption by Jeffery and Amy in 2 days is 2.8125 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of water Jefferey Drinks each day = 90 ounces

So, the amount of water Jeffery drinks in 2 days = 90  x 2 = 180 ounces

Similarly, water required by Amy each day = 90 ounces

So, the amount of water Amy drinks in 2 days = 90  x 2 = 180 ounces

Total water consumption by Jeffery and Amy in 2 days

=180 ounces + 180 ounces

= 360 ounces

Now, 1 ounce  = 0.0078125 gallons

So, 360 ounces = (360 x 0.0078125)  gallons

                           = 2.8125 gallons

Hence, Total water consumption by Jeffery and Amy in 2 days is 2.8125 gallons
