I can just in her science project Martina is observing how fast kitchen condiments can be dissolved in water she put 8.5 ounces of water in each of five containers complete the equation that models the total amount of water Martina used.

Answer 1

Let "T" represent the total amount of water Martina used.
The total amount of water used can be found by adding together the amounts of water in each container.
Since she put 8.5 ounces of water in each of the five containers, the equation that models the total amount of water Martina used is: T = 8.5 + 8.5 + 8.5 + 8.5 + 8.5
