Joe drinks 10 liters of water every week. There are approximately 19 liters in 5 gallons. How many gallons of water would Joe drink in 3 weeks? (round to nearest whole number for answer, there are 2 steps to this problem first set up proportion)

8gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

If Joe drinks 10 liters of water every week, then;

10liters = 1 week

After 3weeks;

x litres =3 weeks

Divide both expressions

10/x = 1/3

x = 3*10

x = 30litres

This means he consumes 30litres in 3 weeks

If there are approximately 19 liters in 5 gallons, the;

19litres = 5gallons

To determine the number of gallons consumed in 3 weeks;

30litres = y

Divide both expressions

19/30 = 5/y

Cross multiply

19 * y = 30*5

19y = 150

y = 150/19

y = 7.89

y ≈ 8 (to nearest whole number)

Hence Joe drinks 8gallons of water in 3weeks
