Question

Sofia is taking a family vacation and wants to download some movies to her smart phone. Her phone has a storage capacity of 16 gigabytes for movie downloads. Last week she used 3.5 gigabytes to download two movies. Which equation can be used to find the number of gigabytes, g, that Sofia has available on her phone to download movies for the vacation? a) 3.5g = 16 b) 16/3.5 = g c) g - 3.5 = 16 d) g + 3.5 = 16

Answer 1

The equation to find the number of gigabytes Sofia has available on her phone for movie downloads is g = 16 - 3.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that can be used to find the number of gigabytes, g, that Sofia has available on her phone to download movies for the vacation is g = 16 - 3.5. Sofia's phone has a storage capacity of 16 gigabytes and she used 3.5 gigabytes last week, so the remaining gigabytes she has available for downloading movies can be found by subtracting the used gigabytes from the total capacity.
