Answer:

21 glasses of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can do a proportion.

[tex]\fraction{1 glass}{1/6 of a bottle)[/tex] or

1 glass/1/6 of a bottle.

x glasses/3.5 bottles.

You can cross multiply.

1/6 times x is 1/6x

1 times 3.5 is 3.5/

1/6x=3.5.

do the reciprocal of 1/6 which is 6.

So, 6 times 3.5 is 21.

Therefore, you have 21 glasses of water.
