For every 1.5 miles Katie runs she drinks 7 oz. How many pints of water should she bring with her if she plans on running 9 miles (8 oz = 1 pint)?
(A) 5 ¼
(B) 6
(C) 7 ½
(D) 8
(E) 9
Kudos for correct solution.
Here let x= Oz of water required if she plans to run for 9 miles
Therefore
\(\frac{7}{1.5} = \frac{x}{9}\)
or \(x= 42\) Oz
Therefore x = 5 ¼ pint (since 8 Oz = 1 pint)
