Which equation can be used to solve the problem?
How many 8-gallon cans are needed to hold a total of 120 gallons of water?
A.
c ÷ 8 = 120
B.
8 ÷ c = 120
C.
8 + c = 120
D.
8c = 120

how many 8 gallon cans does it take to fill a 120 gallon resevoir?
OpenStudy (danjs):
8 gallons times some number 'x' equals 120 gallons
OpenStudy (anonymous):
not sure
OpenStudy (danjs):
In this problem they use c
c = # of cans
OpenStudy (danjs):
so 8 times the number of cans 'c' will = 120 total gallons

8*c = 120
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so its c
OpenStudy (danjs):
if you wanted to solve and figure how many cans it would take, divide both sides of that by 8,
c = 120/8 = 15
OpenStudy (danjs):
D) 8c = 120
OpenStudy (danjs):
"8 times the number of cans 'c' is 120 gallons"

d?
OpenStudy (danjs):
yeah it is D
8 times C = 120
OpenStudy (danjs):
Think about it, you want to divide that 120 gallons into 8 gallon parts
c = 120/8 or
8c = 120
