Ms. Garcia surveyed the students in her class to find out if they own a pet. Two-thirds of the class, or 8 students, own a pet. Complete the equation that models the total number of students,

t , in Ms. Garcia’s class.(1 point)
 ___t =___ 

5 answers

To find the total number of students, \( t \), in Ms. Garcia's class, we know that two-thirds of the class own a pet, and that this group consists of 8 students.

We can express this information in an equation:

\[ \frac{2}{3}t = 8 \]

This means that the total number of students \( t \) can be modeled by the equation:

\[ t = \frac{8 \cdot 3}{2} \]

Therefore, to fill in the blanks in your query:

\[ \frac{2}{3}t = 8 \]

So it should be completed as:

\(\frac{2}{3}t = 8\).

Julio is making lemonade to be sold at a fair. He bought 5 bags of lemons for $19.75 . Complete the equation that models the cost, c , of each bag of lemons.(1 point)
____ c = ______

To find the cost, \( c \), of each bag of lemons Julio bought, we need to consider the total cost of the 5 bags and how it relates to the cost per bag.

The total cost of 5 bags is $19.75. Therefore, the equation can be set up as follows:

\[ 5c = 19.75 \]

This means that the cost per bag \( c \) can be expressed in terms of this equation.

Completing the equation, we have:

\[ 5c = 19.75 \]

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/____=_____

To find the total amount of water, \( w \), that Martina used, we need to consider that she put 8.5 ounces of water into each of the 5 containers.

The total amount of water can be expressed as:

\[ w = 8.5 \times 5 \]

To complete the equation in the form \( \frac{w}{__} = __ \), we can rearrange it. Since \( w = 8.5 \times 5 \), we can express this as:

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

Thus, the completed equation is:

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