Final answer:
To find out how many 12 oz cans of soda a boy would drink in a week if he drinks 34 oz per day, divide daily consumption by can size and multiply by days in a week, resulting in approximately 20 cans.
Explanation:
If a teenage boy drinks 34 ounces of soda per day, to find out how many 12 oz cans he would drink in a week, we first determine how many cans he drinks in a day by dividing the daily consumption by the size of one can, and then multiply by the number of days in a week.
Step 1: Calculate the number of cans per day.
34 oz per day ÷ 12 oz per can = 2.8333 cans per day (rounded to the nearest tenth, this is approximately 2.8 cans per day).
Step 2: Calculate the weekly consumption.
2.8 cans per day × 7 days per week = 19.6 cans per week. As you cannot have a fraction of a can, you would round this to 20 cans to provide a whole number.
Therefore, a teenage boy would drink approximately 20 cans of soda in a week if he drinks 34 oz per day.
