Answer :

Answer:

2.9 litres

or

2 14/15 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the amount of water Sam drinks in an hour, divide the total amount drunk by the number of hours

Amount drank in an hour = total litres drunk / time

[tex]2\frac{1}{5}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{11}{5}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{44}{15}[/tex] = 2[tex]\frac{14}{15}[/tex] litres
