Elena has some bottles of water that each holds 17 fluid ounces. A. Write an equation that relates the number of bottles of water (x) to the total volume of water (y) in fluid ounces. B. How much water is in 51 bottles? C. How many bottles does it take to hold 51 fluid ounces of water?

A. y = 17x

B. 867 fluid ounces

C. 3 bottles

Step-by-step explanation:

There are few bottles of water that each contain 17 fluid ounces of water.

A. If the number of bottles is given by x and the total volume of water those bottles contain is y in fluid ounces, then the equation that relates x and y is

y = 17x ... (1) (Answer)

B. If x = 51, then the volume of water in 51 bottles will be given by equation (1) as

y = 51 * 17 = 867 fluid ounces. (Answer)

C. If y = 51 fluid ounces, then from equation (1), the number of bottles will be given by x = 51/17 = 3 bottles. (Answer)
