Jerry pours 86 milliliters of water into 8 tiny beakers he measures an equal amount of water into the first 7 beakers he pours the remaining water into the eight beaker it measure 16 milliliters how many milliliters of water are in each of the first 7 beakers. using the rdw process show how you got the answer.

There are 7 milliliters of water in each of the first 7 beakers

Step-by-step explanation:

* At first lets read the problem

- There are 86 milliliters of water to pour into tiny beakers

- Jerry has 8 tiny beakers

- He pours same amount in seven of them

- He pours 16 milliliters in the 8th one

- we want to know how many milliliters in each of the 7 beakers

* Look to the attached drawing

- There are 8 shapes represent the tiny beakers

- Seven of them have same amount x

- The last one has amount 16 milliliters

- All of them have 86 milliliters

* Now lets write the steps to answer the problem

∵ The amount of water is 86 milliliters

∵ The 8th tiny beaker has 16 milliliters

∴ The amount of water in the 7 beakers = 86 - 16 = 70 milliliters

∵ Each one of the 7 beakers has x milliliters of water

∴ 7 × (x) = 70 ⇒ divide each side by 7

∴ x = 7 milliliters

* There are 7 milliliters of water in each of the first 7 beakers

in mathematics, a function is a relationship between two variables such that the value of one of the variables, called the dependent variable, is determined by the value of the other variable, called the independent variable. there is a specific term we use to describe the set of independent variables of a function.
