Ben drinks 3 1/2 liters of tea every 40 minutes.
This means that he would drink 1 3/4 of tea every 20 minutes (divide both sides by 2).
Now, let's multiply each side by 3.
1.75 * 3 = 5.25 (aka 5 1/4)
20 * 3 = 60 minutes (an hour)
He drinks 5 1/4 liters of tea in one hour.
Answer:
42 liters
Step-by-step explanation:
3.5x4=14 in 1 hour
14x3=42liters in 3 hours
$38,500
Take the $385, then divide it by the percentage you know, 1 percent (.01 as a decimal) 385/.01 = $38,500, which is your answer.
