Answer 1

To model the total amount of water, \( w \), used by Martina, you can use the equation:

\[ w = 8.5 \times 5 \]

This equation signifies that Martina used 8.5 ounces of water for each of the 5 containers. To find the total amount of water, simply multiply the amount of water per container by the number of containers.

Answer 3

To express the total amount of water, \( w \), that Martina used in an equation format, you would write it as follows:

\[ w = 8.5 \times 5 \]

Alternatively, if you are asked to express it in a division format and you want to complete the equation as you started:

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

This represents that for each of the 5 containers, \( \frac{w}{5} \) is the amount of water in each container, which is 8.5 ounces.

So the complete equations can be either:

1. \( w = 8.5 \times 5 \) (Total amount of water)
2. \( \frac{w}{5} = 8.5 \) (Amount of water per container)

Use the one that fits the required format of your assignment.
