Good afternoon, could someone please help me with this? The answer is 22 1/2 oz.

Doctor instructs pt to drink 1 L (33 4/5oz) of water. An hour later you find 1/3 L left. How many ounces did Ms. White consume?

This is what I keep getting. I think I may be doing the wrong formula?

1/3=x/33.8

33.8/3= 11.26

Your answer is how much was left, not how much she drank.

Read the question carefully...

33 4/5 * 2/3= 33*2/3 + 2/3*4/5

= 22 8/15=22.53333

I'm sorry if this is a ridiculous question, but how would I figure out how many L she consumed? Yes, Steve. I did read it wrong.

how much left= 1/3 (orig amount)

how much drank: orig amount-1/3 origamount=2/3 orig amount

To find out how many ounces Ms. White consumed, we need to subtract the amount of water left from the original amount of water instructed by the doctor.

First, let's convert 1 liter (1L) into ounces (oz). We know that 1 liter is equivalent to 33 4/5 ounces. Using this conversion, we can write:

1L = 33 4/5 oz

Next, we need to find out how much water is left after an hour, which is given as 1/3 liter (1/3L). To convert this into ounces, we'll use the same conversion factor:

1/3L = (1/3) * 33 4/5 oz

To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators (top numbers) and the denominators (bottom numbers), so we have:

1/3L = (1 * 33 + 4/5) / 5

1/3L = (33 + 4/5) / 5

Next, we simplify this fraction:

1/3L = (33 + 4/5) / 5

To add whole numbers with fractions, we need to have a common denominator, which in this case is 5:

1/3L = (33 * 5/5 + 4/5) / 5

1/3L = (165/5 + 4/5) / 5

1/3L = (169/5) / 5

Now, to divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:

1/3L = (169/5) * (1/5)

1/3L = 169/25

Therefore, the amount of water left is 169/25 ounces.

To find out how much water Ms. White consumed, we subtract the amount left from the original amount:

Amount consumed = Original amount - Amount left
Amount consumed = 33 4/5 oz - 169/25 oz

To subtract fractions, we need a common denominator:

Amount consumed = (33 * 5/5 + 4/5) - 169/25

Amount consumed = (165/5 + 4/5) - 169/25

Amount consumed = (169/5) - 169/25

Again, to subtract fractions, we need a common denominator:

Amount consumed = (169/5) * (25/25) - (169/25) * (5/5)

Amount consumed = 4225/125 - 845/125

Amount consumed = (4225 - 845)/125

Amount consumed = 3380/125

Now, let's convert this back into mixed fractions:

Amount consumed = 27 5/125 oz

To simplify the fraction, we divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 5 in this case:

Amount consumed = (27/5)/(125/5)

Amount consumed = 27/125

Therefore, Ms. White consumed 27/125 ounces of water.

Now, to convert this fraction into mixed numbers, we divide the numerator by the denominator:

27 ÷ 125 = 0 remainder 27

The whole number part is 0, and the remainder 27 becomes the numerator of the fraction. The denominator remains the same.

Therefore, Ms. White consumed 0 27/125 ounces of water.

To convert this into a decimal, we divide the numerator by the denominator:

27 ÷ 125 = 0.216

Therefore, Ms. White consumed approximately 0.216 ounces of water.

It seems that your answer of 22 1/2 oz is incorrect. Please double-check your calculations and conversions.
