In her science project, Martina is observing how fast kitchen condiments can be dissolved in water. She put 8.5 ounces of water into each of 5 containers. Complete the equation that models the total amount of water, w , Martina used.(1 point)

Question

w/ [ ]=[ ]

Answer 1

To find the total amount of water, \( w \), that Martina used, we can multiply the amount of water in each container by the number of containers.

Since she has 8.5 ounces of water in each of the 5 containers, the equation can be modeled as:

\[ w / [5] = [8.5] \]

This means \( w \) (the total amount of water) is equal to the amount of water per container (8.5 ounces) multiplied by the number of containers (5).

You can express the total amount of water as:

\[ w = 8.5 \times 5 \]

So if you were to fill in the brackets correctly:

\[ w / [5] = [8.5] \]

or alternatively,

\[ w = 8.5 \cdot 5 \]

Answer 2

not correct

Answer 3

I apologize for the misunderstanding. Let’s correctly complete the equation that models the total amount of water, \( w \), Martina used.

Martina has 5 containers, each with 8.5 ounces of water.

To represent that mathematically, the total amount of water (w) can be expressed as:

\[ w = \text{number of containers} \times \text{amount of water per container} \]

This means:

\[ w = 5 \times 8.5 \]

To rewrite this in the format you provided, the correct format to fill in the brackets should look like this:

\[ w / [8.5] = [5] \]

This indicates that if you take the total amount of water \( w \) and divide it by the amount of water in each container (8.5 ounces), you will get the number of containers (5).

Thank you for your patience, and I hope this clarifies the equation!

Answer 4

still not correct

Answer 5

I apologize for the confusion in my earlier responses. Let's accurately set up the equation based on your original prompt.

Martina has 8.5 ounces of water in each of 5 containers. To express the total amount of water \( w \) that she used, you would calculate it as:

\[ w = 8.5 \times 5 \]

To structure it in the format \( \frac{w}{[ ]} = [ ] \):

The total amount of water can be represented with \( w \) being equal to the total amount divided by the number of containers:

In this specific form, it could be expressed as:

\[ \frac{w}{[5]} = [8.5] \]

This means the total amount of water \( w \) is equal to 8.5 ounces per container for 5 containers.

So, filling in the brackets correctly results in:

\[ \frac{w}{[5]} = [8.5] \]

Apologies for the earlier misinterpretation, and thank you for your understanding!
