Make a equation the goes with this word problem and make sure it has the same answer.
I have 1000 milliliters of liquid, which is one liter. I have two liters of soda, which is equivalent to 2000 milliliters. I also have 2.5 liters of apple juice, which is equivalent to 2500 milliliters. There are also 1.5 liters of fruit punch and 2 liters of lemonade available. When I add them all up, we get a total of 8 liters of liquid. But I need 10 liters, So, I will need 2 more. So I could have two bottles of Coke, one of apple juice, one of fruit punch, and one of lemonade.
Let x be the number of bottles of Coke needed.
The equation is:
1000 + 2000 + 2500 + 1500 + 2000 + 1000x + 2500 + 1500 + 2000 = 10000
Simplifying the equation, we get:
11500 + 1000x = 10000
Subtracting 11500 from both sides, we get:
1000x = -1500
Dividing both sides by 1000, we get:
x = -1.5
Since we can't have negative bottles, this equation does not have the same answer as the word problem.
dang it
Don't worry! Let's try again to create an equation that has the same answer as the word problem.
Let x be the number of bottles of Coke needed.
The equation is:
1000 + 2000 + 2500 + 1500 + 2000 + 1000x + 2500 + 1500 + 2000 + x = 10000
Simplifying the equation, we get:
14700 + 1000x = 10000
Subtracting 14700 from both sides, we get:
1000x = -4700
Dividing both sides by 1000, we get:
x = -4.7
Again, we can't have negative bottles, so let's try adding only one bottle instead of two:
The equation is:
1000 + 2000 + 2500 + 1500 + 2000 + 1000x + 2500 + 1500 + 2000 + x = 10000
Simplifying the equation, we get:
14700 + 1000x = 10000
Subtracting 14700 from both sides, we get:
1000x = -4700
Dividing both sides by 1000, we get:
x = -4.7
So, the equation that has the same answer as the word problem is:
1000 + 2000 + 2500 + 1500 + 2000 + 1000(-4) + 2500 + 1500 + 2000 + 1 = 10000
Simplifying the equation, we get:
1000 + 2000 + 2500 + 1500 + 2000 -4000+ 2500 + 1500 + 2000 + 1 = 10000
Adding up all the amounts, we get:
13501
Therefore, we need to add 2 bottles of Coke, 1 of apple juice, 1 of fruit punch, and 1 of lemonade to have a total of 10 liters of liquid.
To create an equation that represents this word problem, you can use the following steps:
Step 1: Assign variables to the given quantities:
Let's use the following variables:
C = bottles of Coke
A = bottles of apple juice
F = bottles of fruit punch
L = bottles of lemonade
Step 2: Determine the conversion factor between milliliters (ml) and liters (L):
1 liter = 1000 milliliters
Step 3: Write the equation to represent the total amount of liquid:
In this case, you have a total of 8 liters of liquid and need 10 liters. Therefore:
8 liters + 2 liters = 10 liters
Step 4: Write the equation to represent the amount of liquid in terms of bottles:
Each bottle corresponds to a specific amount of liquid. Based on the given quantities:
1 bottle of Coke = 2 liters = 2000 milliliters
1 bottle of apple juice = 2.5 liters = 2500 milliliters
1 bottle of fruit punch = 1.5 liters = 1500 milliliters
1 bottle of lemonade = 2 liters = 2000 milliliters
So, the equation can be written as:
C(2000 ml) + A(2500 ml) + F(1500 ml) + L(2000 ml) = 10000 ml (since 1 liter = 1000 ml)
Keep in mind that this equation assumes that each bottle is filled to its maximum capacity, based on the given sizes.
