Organizers for a local race plan to provide 4 water bottles for each runner, 328 people have signed up to run in the race which of the following equations represent the this situation and what does the variable x represent
A) 328/x=4, x=number of water bottles needed
B)x/328=4,x=total number of runners
C)x/4=328;x=total number of water bottles needed
D)4/x=328;x=total number of runners
plz help me guys and thxs
oof well 328x4=1,312 and I think the answer is c do you agree
x/4=328;x = total numberof water bottles needed
well, total bottles x = 4*328, right?
does one of those equations work out right?
I would suggest you figuring out what 328 x 4 is...
THen see which of the equations give that answer...
Then you need to read "what x represents" as for example.... letter A) does not provide the correct number of bottles of water when solved, even though x is the total number of bottles of water needed.
What do you think the answer is?
Yes : )
wait what oobleck can you make that easier I don't comprehend what your saying
hey yall I need help for real can yall help me
To determine the correct equation that represents the situation, we need to understand the given information.
The problem states that organizers plan to provide 4 water bottles for each runner. Additionally, 328 people have signed up to run in the race. We need to find the equation that represents this situation.
Let's analyze the answer choices:
A) 328/x = 4, x = number of water bottles needed
In this equation, x represents the number of water bottles needed. However, the problem states that organizers plan to provide 4 water bottles for each runner, not the number of water bottles needed. Therefore, this equation does not represent the given situation correctly.
B) x/328 = 4, x = total number of runners
In this equation, x represents the total number of runners. As per the problem statement, 328 people have signed up to run in the race. Therefore, this equation correctly represents the given situation.
C) x/4 = 328, x = total number of water bottles needed
In this equation, x represents the total number of water bottles needed. However, as stated earlier, we are looking for an equation that represents the total number of runners, not the number of water bottles needed. Therefore, this equation does not represent the given situation correctly.
D) 4/x = 328, x = total number of runners
In this equation, x represents the total number of runners. As mentioned before, we are given that 328 people have signed up to run in the race. Therefore, this equation also correctly represents the given situation.
Considering the analysis above, the correct equation is option B) x/328 = 4, with x representing the total number of runners.
