To stay properly hydrated, a person should drink 32 fluid ounces of water every 60 minutes of exercise. How much water should Damon drink if he rides his bike for 135 minutes?

This is using unit rates, plz explain how you found the answer

Respuesta :

Unit rate is a rate with 1 in the denominator.

First of all, you have to figure out how much water a person should drink per 1 minute:

32 ÷ 60 = 0.53

(Unit rate will be 0.53/1)

Secondly, multiply 0.53 by 135:

0.53 x 135 = 72

Answer: Damon should drink 72  fluid ounces of water if he rides his bike for 135 minutes.
