Question

1. Cici drank 14.5 cups of water in 2 weeks. How many cups of water did she drink each day?
(Remember that each week has 7 days). Explain your thinking.

Answer 1

Answer:

Cici drank 1.03571429 cups of water a day.

Step-by-step explanation:

She drank 14.5 cups of water in two weeks, so I divided the two weeks by 2. In total, she drank 7.25 cups of water each week. Since we know that 7.25 cups of water is how much she drank within one week, we can then divide that number by 7 days and it gives us the quotient of 1.03571429. This is approximately how much water she drank.

If you were to round it by the nearest one or tenth the answer would be 1.0/1.
