Do you have a picture for this problem? There are multiple different ways to solve this problem but I'll need a picture to help you.
Write and solve an equation of ratios, as follows:
32 fl oz 60 min
----------- = ------------
x 135 min
Then 60x = (32)(135) = 4320, and x = 72 oz.
damron should drink 72 fl. oz. of water if he rides 135 min.
Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
2x−1−1=x−3−(−5+x)
2x−1−1=x−3+−1(−5+x)(Distribute the Negative Sign)
2x−1−1=x+−3+(−1)(−5)+−1x
2x−1−1=x+−3+5+−x
2x+−1+−1=x+−3+5+−x
(2x)+(−1+−1)=(x+−x)+(−3+5)(Combine Like Terms)
2x+−2=2
2x−2=2
Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.
2x−2+2=2+2
2x=4
Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.
2x

x=2
Find how many oz she ate: 1/2 of 3 is 1.5. 3/4 of 3 is 2.25. 1/2 of 2 is 1. Add all of the oz: 1.5+2.25+1=4.75. She ate 4.75 oz :)
