Elena has some bottles of water that each hold 17 fluid ounces.

Write an equation that relates the number of bottle of water (b) to the total volume of the water (w) in fluid ounces.

w=
17b

or

b=
w

How much water is in 51 bottles?

fluid ounces

How many bottles does it take to hold 51 fluid ounces of water?

bottles

Solution:

Total volume of water = amount of water in each bottle x total number of bottles.

W = b x 17

Therefore,

W/b = 17

The equation that relates the number of bottle of water (b) to the total volume of the water (w) in fluid ounces is w = 17b.

We can multiply W by 1/b to get the amount of water stored in one bottle
