<h3>Stan drinks 12 ounces of water in 1 hour</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

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

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
