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.

What is –36° converted to radians?

Stells [14]

let's recall that there are 180° in π radians, thus

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} degrees&radians\\ \cline{1-2} 180&\pi \\ -36&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{180}{-36}=\cfrac{\pi }{x}\implies -5=\cfrac{\pi }{x}\implies x=\cfrac{\pi }{-5}\implies x=-\cfrac{\pi }{5}$
