Answer :
The number of ounces of water Will could have put in each cup is 8 ounces.
1. Will started with 144 ounces of water in the cooler.
2. He used 16 ounces to fill his water bottle.
3. The remaining water in the cooler is:
144 - 16 = 128 ounces.
4. He then took 16 plastic cups for his teammates.
5. The water in each cup is calculated as:
128 ÷ 16 = 8 ounces.
6. The number line graph above highlights 8 ounces as the correct answer.
This means each of the 16 cups gets exactly 8 ounces of water.
Certainly! Let's solve this step by step:
1. Determine the initial amount and subtract water used for the bottle:
- Will starts with a cooler filled with 144 ounces of water.
- He uses 16 ounces to fill his water bottle.
- Therefore, the remaining water in the cooler is:
[tex]\[
144 \text{ ounces} - 16 \text{ ounces} = 128 \text{ ounces}
\][/tex]
2. Distribute the remaining water evenly:
- Will then takes out 16 plastic cups and wants to put the same amount of water in each cup.
- To find out how much water goes into each cup, we divide the remaining 128 ounces of water by the 16 cups:
[tex]\[
\frac{128 \text{ ounces}}{16 \text{ cups}} = 8 \text{ ounces per cup}
\][/tex]
So, Will puts 8 ounces of water into each of the 16 cups.
### Graphing on a Number Line
To represent this on a number line:
1. Draw a horizontal line, which will be your number line.
2. Mark increments corresponding to the amount of water in each cup.
3. Place a point at 8 ounces, indicating the amount of water Will puts in each cup.
Here is a basic conceptual description of your number line:
```
0 8 16 ... 128
|---|---|---|...|---|
```
You only need to mark from 0 to 8 because the answer is simply 8 ounces per cup. This visualization helps to clarify the distribution of water.
