To figure out how many glasses of water Colton drinks per hour, we need to break down the problem into smaller, manageable steps. Here's a step-by-step solution:

1. Understand the given rate:
- Colton drinks 1 glass of a 6-ounce glass of water in 3 minutes.

2. Find out how many 3-minute intervals are there in 1 hour (60 minutes):
- Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we can divide by the number of minutes it takes him to drink 1 glass:
[tex]\[ \frac{60 \text{ minutes}}{3 \text{ minutes/glass}} = 20 \text{ glasses} \][/tex]

3. Interpret the result:
- This calculation shows that Colton drinks 20 glasses of water in one hour.

Therefore, Colton drinks 20 glasses of water per hour.

To ensure we present the answer correctly:

- If Colton drinks water at the rate of 1 glass every 3 minutes, we can calculate how many glasses he will drink in 60 minutes by dividing 60 by 3:
[tex]\[ \frac{60}{3} = 20 \][/tex]

This result can be written as a whole number, stating that Colton drinks 20 glasses of water in an hour.
