Question

A teacher has a 2-gallon (32-cup) container of juice. She gives each student One-half cup of juice. Which equation represents the amount of juice that remains, y, after x students are served?
y = 32 x minus one-half
y = one-half x minus 32
y = negative one-half x + 32
y = negative 32 x + one-half

Answer 1

Answer:

y= 32 x - 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Capacity of teachers juice caintainer= 2 gallons (32 cups).

Amount she gives each student= one- half cup

Let the amount of juice be= y

Let the number of students server be= x

Representation of exuation= y = 32 x minus one-half
