Question

The number of water bottles used during a teams football practice varies directly with the temperature. If a team uses 75 water bottles when the temperature is 60 degrees, what is the temperature if they use 120 bottles?

Answer 1

To find the cost of 1 water bottle you divide 60 degrees into 75 (75/60) which gives you 1.25 degrees for each water bottle. To find 120 water bottles temperature multiply the 1.25 degrees for 1 water bottle times 120 (120x1.25). 120x1.25=150 The answer would be 150degrees
