Notice how . Stated another way,
Since 30 milliliters = 1 ounce, we can multiply both sides by 70 to get: 2100 milliliters = 70 ounces
So now we're dealing with 70 ounces. The problem now is that 8 does not go into 70, but we can note that or . So multiply both sides of 8 ounces = 1 cup by 8.75 to get: 70 ounces = 8.75 cups
Since 70 ounces = 8.75 cups and 2100 milliliters = 70 ounces, we now know that 2100 milliliters = 8.75 cups
So over the course of 7 hours, the patient will drink 8.75 cups of fluid. Simply divide this result by 7 to find the amount of fluid the patient will drink in one hour. So
Since , this means that . So the patient will drink cups of fluid over the course of one hour.
