<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
Stan drinks 3/4 of a 8 ounce glass of water in 1/2 of an hour
Which means,
Therefore,
6 ounces is drank in 0.5 hour
We have to find the water he drinks in an hour
Let "x" be the water he drinks in 1 hour
Thus we get,
6 ounce = 0.5 hour
x ounces = 1 hour
This forms a proportion and we can solve the sum by cross multiplying
Thus, he drinks 12 ounces of water in 1 hour
The Area of rectangle = 80 unit².
<h3>What is Area of rectangle?</h3>The area can be defined as the amount of space covered by a flat surface of a particular shape. It is measured in terms of the "number of" square units (square centimeters, square inches, square feet, etc.) The area of a rectangle is the number of unit squares that can fit into a rectangle. Some examples of rectangular shapes are the flat surfaces of laptop monitors, blackboards, painting canvas, etc. You can use the formula of the area of a rectangle to find the space occupied by these objects. For example, let us consider a rectangle of length 4 inches and width 3 inches.
from figure (a)
DE= 40/8 = 5
BC= 100/5 = 20
Now,
AC= AB + BC= 8+ 20 = 28
CE= CD + DE = 10+5= 15
So, area of rectangle
= AC* CE
= 28* 15
= 420
Now, from figure (b)
CD= 24/12= 2
DE= 12/4 = 3
AC= AB+ BC= 14+ 4= 16
CE= CD + DE= 2+3 = 5
So, Area of rectangle= 16*5 = 80 unit²
