Ginger ended up working 8 hours outside in her garden. She kept a water bottle with her that held 2 cups of water. She drank a full bottle of every hour she was outside. She also poured an additional 5 bottles of water over the new plants she planted. How many cups of water did Ginger drink/use that day? Let's think first. Chain of thought:
She drank 2 cups of water every hour for 8 hours so 2 * 8 = 16 cups. She poured 5 bottles of waters on her plants and each holds 2 cups so 5 * 2 = 10 cups of water. She drank 16 cups of water and used 10 cups of water so she had 16 + 10 = 26 cups of water.
Therefore, the answer is 26.
