In her science project, Martina is observing how fast kitchen condiments can be dissolved in water, she put 8.5 ounce of water into each of 5 containers. Complete the equation that models the total amount of water, w, Martina used w/_=_

To complete the equation that models the total amount of water, \( w \), Martina used, we need to express the total amount of water in relation to the number of containers and the amount of water in each container. Since she used 8.5 ounces of water in each of the 5 containers, the equation would look like this:

\[ w = 8.5 \times 5 \]

So, the completed equation is:

\[ w = 42.5 \]

This means Martina used a total of 42.5 ounces of water in her science project.

I apologize for not addressing the specific format you requested. Let's fill in the equation in the format \( w / _ = _ \), as you mentioned.

To represent the total amount of water \( w \) in terms of the amount per container and the number of containers, you can express it like this:

\[ w / 5 = 8.5 \]

This means that the total amount of water \( w \) divided by the number of containers (5) equals the amount of water in each container (8.5 ounces).

So, the completed equation is:

\[ w / 5 = 8.5 \]

And you can also find \( w \) by multiplying both sides by 5:

\[ w = 5 \times 8.5 = 42.5 \]

Let me know if you need any further clarification!
