I keep getting 20 as the answer based on there being 2.5 sips in one guzzle. Can you explain how the answer is 40?

3 sips = 2 glugs
Divide both sides by 2 to get: 1.5 sips = 1 glug.
5 glugs = 3 guzzles
Since 1 glug = 1.5, we can replace each glug with 1.5 sips to get: (5)(1.5 sips) = 3 guzzles
In other words: 7.5 sips = 3 guzzles
Divide both sides by 3 to get: 2.5 sips = 1 guzzle
How many sips are in 8 guzzles?
Replace each guzzle with 2.5 sips to get: 8 guzzles = 8(2.5 sips) = 20 sips
Answer: 20
