An empty 5 gallon water jug weighs 0.75 lbs.
\n" ); document.write( " With 3 cups of water inside, the jug weighs 2.25 lbs.
\n" ); document.write( "Predict the weight of the jug with 5 cups of water inside.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the weight of the 3 cups of water
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Jug&water - emptyJug = 3 cups of water
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "2.25 - .75 = 1.5 lb is the weight of 3 cups
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "Find the weight of 1 cup of water
\n" ); document.write( "\"1.5%2F3\" = .5 lb weight of 1 cup
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"Predict the weight of the jug with 5 cups of water inside.\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Jug + 5 cups = total weight
\n" ); document.write( ".75 + 5(.5) =
