Can someone help me put this into an equation ples. "An 8oz cup of coffee has about 184mg of caffenie. This is 5 times as much caffine as in 12oz caffenated soft drink. write an equation to find how much caffine is in a 12oz caffenated soft drink."
-Thanks .
"This is 5 times as much caffeine as in a 12 oz caffeinated soft drink"
"This" refers to the 184 mg of caffeine and so, in the equation, 184 will replace "this."
"is" is a verb and will be replace by an equal sign.
"5" remains 5.
"times" will be replaced by "·".
"as much ... drink" will be replaced by d.
184 = 5·d
