B)x/328=4,x=total number of runners

C)x/4=328;x=total number of water bottles needed

D)4/x=328;x=total number of runners

1 answer

look at the units.
4 bottles/runner
328 runners

so,
bottles/runner * runners = bottles
bottles / (bottles/runner) = runners
bottles / runners = bottles/runner

so, see which of those equations makes the units work out right
