A hummingbird weighed w ounces. One day the hummingbird drank 8 times its weight in water and ate half its weight in food. Which equation can be used to find t, the combined weight of the water and the food, in ounces, that the hummingbird had on this day?

t = w + 8 - 1/2
t = w +8 + 1/2
t = 8w + w/2
t = 2w + 2/8

The "/" represent fractions not dividing
