Mai poured 2.6 liters of water into a partially filled pitcher. The pitcher then contained 10.2 liters a. Which diagram (A, B or represents this situation?

x
A. 2.6| 10.4 10.4
B. x | 2.6 2.6
C. 10.4| x

b. Write an equation that represents this situation.

c. Solve the equation you wrote.

d. Explain what the solution to the equation means in this situation.

a. Diagram B

b. x+2.6=10.4

c. x+2.6=10.4

subtract 2.6 from both sides

x=7.8

d. The solution in the equation represents the amount of water that was in the pitcher prior to Mai poring 2.6 Liters of water in. So there were 7.8 Liters of water in a pitcher, Mai poured 2.6 Liters of water into that same pitchers and the total amount of water in the pitcher was 10.4 Liters.
