Answer:
The equation is [tex]w=17b[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
b -----> the number of bottles of water
w ----> the total volume of water in fluid ounces
we know that
To find out the total volume of water , multiply the volume of one bottle by the number of bottles
Each bottle of water hold 17 fluid ounces
so
[tex]w=17b[/tex]
This equation represent a direct variation
where
The constant of proportionality or slope is equal to
[tex]k=17\frac{fluid\ ounces}{bottle}[/tex]
