Question

Elena has some bottles of water that each hold 17 fluid ounces.

a. Write an equation that relates the number f bottles of water (b) to the total volume of water (w) in fluid ounces.

b. How much water is in 51 bottles?

c. How many bottles does it take to hold 51 fluid ounces of water?



(NEED HELP VERY SOON)

Answer 1

17b = w

Explanation:

17 times the number of bottles = the number of ounces of water

Then you just plug in the numbers you are given

17(51) = w

17 x 51 = 867

51 bottles of water holds 867 ounces

17b = (51)

divide both sides by 17

51/17 = 3

b = 3

It would take 3 bottles of water to hold 51 ounces
