asked 03/21/16Drinking water
My doctor tells me that I need to drink half of my body's weight of water a day (on a normal day) and I weight 115 lbs. I need to drink about every 30 min no more than 2 oz. at a time If I'm up approximately 17 hrs a day. How many times a day do I need to drink and how much water do I drink every 30 min.
So I need to drink 57.5 oz per day. How many oz. do I drink in a 17 hour day? Please show how you solved the problem.
Thank You!

If you are up 17 hours that is 34 thirty minute periods
57.5 \ 34 = 1.691
So you can drink 1.691oz every 30 minutes. for 17 hours
