In her science project, Martina is observing how fast kitchen condiments can be dissolved in water. She put 8.5 ounces of water into each of 5 containers. Complete the equation that models the total amount of water, w , Martina used

The equation that models the total amount of water Martina used can be written as follows:

w = 8.5 * 5

where w represents the total amount of water used.
