Answer:
c. 3,147,200 water-filled glasses
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of water consumed by an American per day= 100 gallons
So, the amount of water consumed by an American per week = 7×100 = 700 gallons
In 100 gallons of water 1,600 drinking glasses can be filled.
In 700 gallons of water 7×1,600= 11,200 drinking glasses can be filled.
The amount of water consumed by 281 American per week = 700×281 = 196,700 gallons
As in 700 gallons of water 11,200 glasses can be filled.
So, in 1 gallons of water [tex]\dfrac{11,200}{700}=16[/tex] glasses can be filled.
So, in 196,700 gallons of water [tex]16\times 196,700=3,147,200[/tex] glasses can be filled.
