she drinks 9/2 ounces of water in 1 hour
Step-by-step explanation:
On average, the person drinks 1/2 of a 6-ounce glass of water in 2/3 hour.
First of all, we have to rewrite the amount of water in a single fraction: we have
[tex]\frac{1}{2}\cdot 6 = \frac{6}{2}=3[/tex]
This means that the person drinks 3 ounces of water every 2/3 hours.
In order to find how much water she drinks in one hour, we use the following proportion:
[tex]\frac{3}{2/3}=\frac{x}{1}[/tex]
where
x is the amount of water she drinks in one hour.
Solving the equation for x,
[tex]x=\frac{3\cdot 1}{2/3}=\frac{3\cdot 1 \cdot 3}{2}=\frac{9}{2}[/tex]
Therefore, she drinks 9/2 ounces of water in 1 hour.
