Question

Brinda and three of her friends are giving out water bottles during a recycling race They each give out 38 water bottles during the race what is the total number of water bottles they give out during the race what is the total number of water bottles they give out during the race right and solve an equation to solve the problem use Y to stand for the unknown number of water bottles

Answer 1

Brinda and her three friends are giving out water bottles, and each of them gives out 38 water bottles. To find the total number of water bottles given out, we can set up an equation.

1. **Identify the number of people**: There are 4 people in total (Brinda + 3 friends).
2. **Number of water bottles each person gives out**: 38 water bottles.

Now, the total number of water bottles given out can be calculated as:

\[
\text{Total water bottles} = \text{Number of people} \times \text{Water bottles per person}
\]

We can define that total number of water bottles, \( Y \), is equal to:

\[
Y = 4 \times 38
\]

Now we can do the multiplication:

\[
Y = 4 \times 38 = 152
\]

So, the total number of water bottles they give out during the race is **152 water bottles**.
