Question

The cost of 24 bottles of water is $6. Which expression shows how to find the cost of 10 bottles of water?

Answer 1

so 24 bottles = 6 so you need to find out what 1 bottle cost so you do 6/24 = 0.25$ so then to find 10 you just easily multiple 10x0.25 = 2.5$

Answer 2

Answer: The expression shows to find the cost of 10 bottles of water is given by

`(6)/(24)* 10`

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Cost of 24 bottles of water = $6

Using " Unitary Method":

Cost of 1 bottle of water is given by

`(6)/(24)=(1)/(4)`

Cost of 10 bottles of water is given by

`(1)/(4)* 10\\\\=(5)/(2)`

Hence, The expression shows to find the cost of 10 bottles of water is given by

`(6)/(24)* 10`
