Question

A container of water holds 128 fluid ounces. Toya drinks 8 fluid ounces of water every hour. How many fluid ounces are in the container after 8 hours

Answer 1

Answer: 64 fluid ounces

Explanation:

Amount of water in the container = 128 fluid ounces

Amount drank by Toya every hour = 8 fluid ounces

For 8 hours, Toya would have drank:

= 8 × 8 fluid ounces

= 64 fluid ounces

To calculate the amount of fluid ounces

thataree in the container after 8 hours, we then subtract 64 fluid ounces from 128 fluid ounces. This will be:

= 128 fluid ounces - 64 fluid ounces

= 64 fluid ounces
