Final answer:
By the end of Tuesday, there are 4 ounces of water left in the bottle. By the end of five days, the hamsters would have consumed a total of 30 ounces of water.
Explanation:
Jill has two hamsters, and each hamster drinks 3 ounces of water each day. On Monday, she fills a water bottle that holds 16 ounces of water. To determine how much water is left at the end of the day on Tuesday, we need to calculate the total consumption of water by both hamsters for two days and subtract that from the initial amount.
Since each hamster drinks 3 ounces per day, two hamsters would drink a total of 3 ounces x 2 hamsters = 6 ounces per day. After two days, they would consume 6 ounces x 2 days = 12 ounces in total. Starting with a full bottle of 16 ounces, after two days, we subtract the consumed water (12 ounces) to find out how much is left: 16 ounces - 12 ounces = 4 ounces left at the end of Tuesday.
To find out how many ounces of water the hamsters would drink by the end of five days, we multiply the daily consumption by five days: 6 ounces/day x 5 days = 30 ounces consumed by the end of five days.
