A water jug is filled 2/3 of the way to the top. After members of a soccer team drink a total of 132 fluid ounces of water, the jug contains 348 fluid ounces of water. What equation can be used to find the number of fluid ounces, w, the water jug holds when it is filled all the way to the top?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The total volume of the jug = 540 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

A water jug is filled [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] of the way to the top.

After members of a soccer team drink a total of 132 ounces of water , the jug contains 348 ounces of water.

So the total amount of fluid, 348 + 132 = 480 ounces of water sums up to [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] of the water jug.

So the total volume of jug = [tex]\frac{360}{\frac{2}{3} }[/tex] = 540 ounces.

So the total volume of the jug, w = 540 ounces.
