Harry's fitness trainer recommends that Harry drink 8 fluid ounces of water 8 times a day. Harry has a water bottle that holds 1 1/4 pints of water when filled. Today he has filled the water bottle three times and drank all of the water each time. Harry claims that he drank the total amount of water recommended by his fitness trainer. Explain why hair is claim is not true

Respuesta :

3 3/4 pints = 60 oz
and
8 oz x 8=64 oz
60<64
therefore he was 4 oz short of the total recommended amount.

Amount of fluid recommended by Harry's fitness trainer =8 fluid ounces of water 8 times a day = 8x8=64 fluid ounces.

Amount of fluid Harry water bottle holds= [tex] 1\frac{1}{4}=1.25 pints [/tex]

Amount of fluid Harry drinks when he fills the bottle 3 times = 1.25x3=3.75 pints.

1 pint = 16 fluid ounce

3.75 pint =16x3.75 =60 fluid ounces.

Harry drank only 60 fluid ounce compared to 64 fluid ounce his trainer recommended.

Harry claims that he drank the total amount of water recommended by his fitness trainer is not true.
