Malia split up the large container of salsa that she bought equally into 5 bowls to place around her house for the party. If each
bowl contained 8.5 ounces of the salsa, which shows the correct equation and value of x, the total amount of salsa in the
original container?
- 8.5; x = 1.7 ounces
6-8.5
: x = 42.5 ounces
O 5x-8.5; x = 1.7 ounces
O 5x8.5; X = 42.5 ounces
