Question

Jackie bought a 3-pack of tubes of glue. She used 0.27 ounce of the glue from the 3-pack and had 1.35 ounces left in total. Which describes a way to determine the number of ounces sold in each tube of glue

Answer 1

Answer:

Each tube came with 0.54 ounces of glue.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that she bought 3 tubes of glue.

The amount of glue in this 3 tubes is equal to the amount she used (0.27 ounce) and the total amount that is left (1.35 ounces).

If we assumed that the 3 tubes came with the same amount of glue, we can calculate this volume by dividing the total amount of glue by 3 (the amount of tubes).

$v=\dfrac{V}{n}=\dfrac{0.27+1.35}{3}=\dfrac{1.62}{3}=0.54$

Each tube came with 0.54 ounces of glue.
