To complete the equation that models the total number of students in Ms. Garcia's class, we can use the information that two-thirds of the class own a pet. This means that the number of students who own a pet is 8.
Let's represent the total number of students in Ms. Garcia's class as t.
According to the given information, two-thirds of the class own a pet. So, the equation can be written as:
2/3 * t = 8
Therefore, the equation that models the total number of students, t, in Ms. Garcia's class is:
2/3 * t = 8

To complete the equation that models the cost of each bag of lemons, we need to divide the total cost of the lemons by the number of bags Julio bought.
Let's represent the cost of each bag of lemons as c.
According to the given information, Julio bought 5 bags of lemons for $19.75. So, the equation can be written as:
c * 5 = $19.75
To find the cost of each bag, we divide both sides of the equation by 5:
c = $19.75 / 5
Therefore, the equation that models the cost, c, of each bag of lemons is:
c = $3.95

To complete the equation that models the total amount of water Martina used, we need to multiply the amount of water put into each container by the number of containers.
Let's represent the total amount of water Martina used as w.
According to the given information, Martina put 8.5 ounces of water into each of 5 containers. So, the equation can be written as:
w = 8.5 ounces/container * 5 containers
Simplifying this equation gives us:
w = 42.5 ounces
Therefore, the equation that models the total amount of water, w, Martina used is:
w = 42.5 ounces
