Answer 1

${\huge {\mathfrak {\orange {Answer :-}}}}$

Lisa generally drinks milk per day = 60 ml.

When, She chases mice she drinks milk one-third more than usual.

So, she drinks = (60 + 1/3 * 60) ml.

= 60 + 20 = 80 ml.

$<b>$ In two weeks, there are 14 days.

And, she chased mice on every second day.

➡️ So, the days she chased mice are

2,4,6,8,10,12 and 14.

Total 7 days .⬅️

➡️ Days she didn't chase mice

= (14 - 7) = 7 days. ⬅️

Thus, during the past two weeks she drank milk

= 7 * 80 + 7 * 60 ml.

= 560 + 420 ml.

= 980 ml.

➡️ Hence, during the past two weeks, she drank 980 ml of milk. $</b>$

$<i>That's it.. </i>$
