Kyle brough a case of 24 12 ounce bottles of water. He drank the same amount of water each day and finished the case after 3 days. How many onces of water did kyle drink each day?

96 ounces each day

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the 24 bottles by 3

24/3 = 8

8bottles per day

8 bottles *12 ounces per bottle

96 ounces each day

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
