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) w/ =

1 answer

To model the total amount of water \( w \) that Martina used, we can represent it as the product of the amount of water in each container and the number of containers.

Given that each of the 5 containers has 8.5 ounces of water, the equation can be set up as follows:

\[ w = 8.5 \times 5 \]

So, the completed equation is:

\[ w = 8.5 \times 5 \]
