ian drinks 3 pints of water during a long hike, he drinks 1 1/2 more cups of water when he gets home how many cups did ian drink altogether

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.
