Answer :
Answer:
7 1/2 pints of water
Step-by-step explanation:
No. of pints of water drank by Ian during hike = 3
Given that he drinks 1 1/2 more cups of water when he gets home
No. of pints of water drank by Ian during return to home = No. of pints of water drank by Ian during hike + 1 1/2 = 3 + 1 1/2
No. of pints of water drank by Ian during return to home = 3 + (2*1 + 1)/2
= 3 + 3/2
Taking 2 as lCM for addition
= (3*2 + 3)/2
=9/2 = 4 1/2
Total water drank by Ian altogether = 3 + 4 1/2 = 7 1/2
Therefore, Ian drank 7 1/2 pints of water during Hike and return altogether.
