Question

Ben drinks water everyday. He drinks 3 1/2 liters of water every 1/4 of an hour. Ben drinks water at a constant rate. How many liters of water can Ben drink in 3 hours?

Answer 1

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 2

Answer:

42 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

3.5x4=14 in 1 hour

14x3=42liters in 3 hours
