Question

use the drawing tool(s) to form the correct answer on the provided number line. 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. drawing tools select point open point line segment ray click on a tool to begin drawing delete undo reset -2 0 2 4 6 8 ounces of water

Explanation:

Step1: Find remaining water

Total water is 144 ounces, used 16 ounces for bottle. Remaining: $144 - 16 = 128$ ounces.

Step2: Calculate water per cup

16 cups, so per cup: $x=\frac{128}{16}=8$? Wait, no, wait. Wait, 144 - 16 is 128? Wait 144 -16 = 128? Wait 144-16=128? Wait 169=144, so 144-16=128. Then 128 divided by 16 cups: 128/16=8? Wait no, wait 168=128. Wait but let's check again. Wait the problem says "put the same amount of water in each cup". So total water after filling bottle: 144 -16 = 128 ounces. Then 128 ounces divided into 16 cups: 128/16=8. Wait but the number line has up to 8. Wait but maybe I made a mistake. Wait 144 ounces cooler. Used 16 ounces for bottle, so remaining is 144 -16 = 128. Then 16 cups, so each cup: 128 /16 = 8. Wait but let's check the number line. The number line is from -2 to 8, with marks at 0,2,4,6,8. So x=8? Wait no, wait 144-16=128, 128/16=8. So x=8. Wait but maybe the problem is that he "could have put" so maybe it's less? Wait no, the problem says "the number of ounces of water, x, that Will could have put in each cup". So if he has 128 ounces left and 16 cups, then each cup gets 128/16=8 ounces. So x=8. So on the number line, we graph x=8. So we use a point at 8.

Wait, but let's recheck the calculation. 144 ounces total. Used 16 ounces for his bottle, so remaining water: 144 - 16 = 128 ounces. Then he has 16 cups. So each cup: 128 ÷ 16 = 8 ounces. So x=8. So we need to graph 8 on the number line.

Answer:

The number of ounces per cup is 8, so we graph a point at 8 on the number line.
