A client is instructed to drink 3 quarts of water each day. The glass that the client uses contains 12 ounces. How many glasses of water is the client expected to consume each day?
1. 6
2. 8
3. 10
4. 12
2
Rationale 1: Glasses of water (ounces) /day = 1 glass/12 ounces x 32 ounces/1quart x 3 quarts/1 day. Multiply the numerators (1 x 32 x 3= 96). Multiply the denominators (12 x 1 x 1 = 12). 96/12 = 8 glasses.
