Answer:
Water they both need to drink combined to meet the recommended amounts for the day is 3.62 liters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The institution of medicine determined that a man should drink 3 liters of fluids a day and a woman should drink 2.2 liters. Mr.Morrison drank 880 mL of water at breakfast and Mrs.Morrison drank 700 mL.
To find : How much more will they both need to drink combined to meet the recommended amounts for the day?
Solution :
Man needs to drink = 3 liters of water a day = 3000 ml
Women needs to drink = 2.2 liters of water a day = 2200 ml
Mr. Morrison drank = 880 ml
Mrs. Morrison drank = 700 ml
Total water needed to be drink by both men and women is
⇒ 3000+2200 = 5200 ml
Total water drank by Mr. and Mrs. Morrison is
⇒ 880+700 = 1580 ml
Water they both need to drink combined to meet the recommended amounts for the day is
⇒ 5200 - 1580 = 3620 ml
or 3.62 liters is the required amount.
