Answer:
66 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
24.75 + (8.25 x 5) = 24.75 + 41.25 = 66
Answer:
66 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, set up a fraction. Let "x" be the ounces of water after 5 seconds.
[tex]\frac{8.25}{1}=\frac{x}{5}[/tex]
Step 1: Switch sides
[tex]\frac{x}{5}=\frac{8.25}{1}[/tex]
Step 2: Apply rule: [tex]\frac{a}{1}=a[/tex]
[tex]\frac{x}{5}=8.25[/tex]
Step 3: Multiply both sides by 5
[tex]\frac{5x}{5}=8.25\cdot \:5[/tex]
Step 4: Simplify
[tex]x=41.25[/tex]
Now we have found the ounces of water in the container after 5 seconds, but already, there are 24.75 ounces before the ounces after 5 seconds. So to find the total add the given data to the found result
Step 1: Add 24.75 to 41.25
[tex]24.75 + 41.25 = 66[/tex]
Therefore, there are 66 ounces after 5 seconds when 24.75 ounces are already in the container.
