Jan is trying to increase her water intake to meet recommended guidelines. She currently consumes 2 (24 oz. each) bottles of water per day, and 2 cups (8 oz. each) of low-fat milk. Assuming that she will obtain 15% of her fluid needs from foods, how many cups of water does she still need to drink?

Extra 4 cups to make up 11 cups a day

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have that Jan obtains 15% of her fluid needs from food, therefore, she gets the remaining 85 % from drinking water

If the recommended daily intake = 2.7 liters  or 91.3 oz

And she already consumes 48 oz of water and  16 oz of milk

Note milk is equivalent to 0.87 water therefore total intake = 48 + 16*0.87= 61.92 oz

She needs to take additional (91.3 - 61.92) = 29.4 oz or 3.68 ≈ 4 cups extra to meet her recommended daily dosage.

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.

b) 1/3 * 1/5

step-by-step explanation:

each smallest part is 1/15 since the written one is 1/5 and it's divided by 3 equal parts. (1/5 )/3 = 1/15 = 1/3 * 1/5
