Question

Emily has 7 cups of water in a jug.If she drinks 2/3 of a cup every hour.How long would it take her to drink the whole jug

Answer 1

It would take her 10.5 hours to drink the whole jug.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cups of water in jug = 7

Water drunk every hour = $\frac{2}{3}$ of cup

Let,

x be the number of hours.

According to given statement;

$\frac{2}{3}x=7$

Multiplying both sides by $\frac{3}{2}$

$\frac{3}{2}*\frac{2}{3}x=7*\frac{3}{2}\\x=\frac{21}{2}\\x=10.5$

It would take her 10.5 hours to drink the whole jug.
