On average, Jeriel drinks four fiths of a 6-ounce glass of water in 55 minutes. How much water does he drink, in glasses per hour?
To find out how much water Jeriel drinks in one hour, we first need to find out how much water he drinks in 55 minutes.
If Jeriel drinks four fifths of a 6-ounce glass of water in 55 minutes, the amount he drinks in one minute is:
(4/5) * 6 = 4.8 ounces
So, in 55 minutes, Jeriel drinks:
4.8 ounces * 55 = 264 ounces
Since there are 16 ounces in a glass, the amount of water Jeriel drinks in 55 minutes is:
264 / 16 = 16.5 glasses
To find out how much water Jeriel drinks in one hour, we can divide this amount by 55 minutes and multiply by 60 minutes:
16.5 glasses / 55 minutes * 60 minutes = 18 glasses per hour
Therefore, Jeriel drinks 18 glasses of water per hour.
