Answer:
B. Before practice, there are 648 ounces of sports drink in the cooler.
C. For each additional player that takes a drink, there will be approximately 24 fewer ounces of sports drink remaining after practice.
E. Each player drinks approximately 24 ounces of sports drink at practice.
Explanation:
The amount of sports drink in a cooler during practice is modeled by the equation :
y = 648 - 24x,
where:
- y is the number of ounces in the cooler after practice; and
- x is the number of players at practice who take drinks from the cooler.
Option B
Before practice, when no player has taken a drink from the cooler, x=0
Therefore: y = 648 - 24x=648 - 24(0)=648 Ounces.
Before practice, there are 648 ounces of sports drink in the cooler.
Option C
When x=1, y = 648 - 24(1)=624 Ounces
When x=2, y = 648 - 24(2)=600 Ounces
Difference=624-600=24 Ounces
Therefore, for each additional player that takes a drink, there will be approximately 24 fewer ounces of sports drink remaining after practice.
Option E
As can be seen in Option C, after each additional player has taken a drink, there is 24 Ounces left, therefore we can conclude that each player drinks approximately 24 ounces of sports drink at practice.
