Question

tom always brings a water bottle to football practice to stay well - hydrated. before practice today, he filled the bottle completely. tom drank some of the water during practice, and there were 32 fluid ounces of water in the bottle at the end of practice. the volume of the bottle is 48 fluid ounces. let d represent how much water tom drank. which equation models the problem? $d + 32 = 48$ $d - 32 = 48$ solve this equation to find how much water tom drank. fluid ounces

Explanation:

Step1: Select correct equation

The total bottle volume equals the water Tom drank plus the remaining water, so $d + 32 = 48$.

Step2: Isolate variable $d$

Subtract 32 from both sides:
$d = 48 - 32$

Step3: Calculate value of $d$

$d = 16$

Answer:

Correct equation: $d + 32 = 48$; Tom drank 16 fluid ounces
