Question

A soccer team uses 5-gallon coolers to hold water during games and practices. Each cooler holds 640 fluid ounces. The team has small cups that each hold 6.25 fluid ounces and large cups that each hold 8.75 fluid ounces. 1. The team fills c coolers for practice. During practice, the players pour s small cups and g large cups of water. Write an expression that represents the amount of water that remains in the coolers.​

Answer 1

Answer: 640c - 6.25s - 8.75g

===============================================

Work Shown:

s = number of small cups

g = number of large cups

c = number of coolers

----------

1 cooler = 640 fluid ounces

c coolers = 640c fluid ounces

1 small cup = 6.25 fluid ounces

s small cups = 6.25s fluid ounces

1 large cup = 8.75 fluid ounces

g large cups = 8.75g fluid ounces

----------

T = total amount of water poured

T = (amount from small cups) + (amount from large cups)

T = 6.25s+8.75g

L = amount of water left

L = (original total amount of water) - (amount of water poured out)

L = 640c - T

L = 640c - (6.25s+8.75g)

L = 640c - 6.25s - 8.75g
