At breakfast, Gino drank 2/3 of the orange juice in a container. He drank 15 ounces of orange juice.
a) Write a multiplication equation that you can use to find the amount of orange juice that was in the container before Gino had breakfast
2/3x=15
Thank you.
To write a multiplication equation, we need to determine the total amount of orange juice in the container before Gino drank 2/3 of it.
Let's assume the total amount of orange juice in the container before Gino had breakfast is represented by "x" ounces.
Since Gino drank 2/3 of the orange juice, this means he consumed (2/3) * x ounces. According to the problem, this amount is equal to 15 ounces.
So, we can write the multiplication equation as:
(2/3) * x = 15
This equation will help us find the amount of orange juice that was in the container before Gino had breakfast.
