Will brought a 144-ounce cooler filled with water to soccer practice. He used 16 ounces from the cooler to fill his water bottle. He then took out 16 plastic cups for his teammates and put the same amount of water in each cup.
Find and graph the number of ounces of water, x, that Will could have put in each cup.
To find the number of ounces of water that Will could have put in each cup, we need to subtract the amount of water he used for his water bottle from the total amount of water in the cooler and then divide it by the number of cups.
Amount of water used for the water bottle: 16 ounces
Total amount of water in the cooler: 144 ounces
Amount of water left for the cups: 144 - 16 = 128 ounces
Number of cups: 16
Ounces of water in each cup: 128/16 = 8 ounces
Therefore, Will could have put 8 ounces of water in each cup.
To graph this, we can create a simple bar graph with the number of ounces of water, x, on the x-axis and the number of cups on the y-axis.
x-axis: Number of ounces of water (from 0 to 10)
y-axis: Number of cups (from 0 to 20)
The graph will have a single bar at the point (8, 16), representing 8 ounces of water in each of the 16 cups.
