10 cups at beginning.
1 cup remaining at end so total 9 cups of water lost
1 cup per hour leakage , so in 2 hrs 2 cups of water lost
9-2 = 7
last 1 mile he drank 3 cups , so for first 5 miles total water used = 7-3 = 4
so per mile 4/5
1 cup remaining at end so total 9 cups of water lost
1 cup per hour leakage , so in 2 hrs 2 cups of water lost
