write an equation that can be used to determine the number of cups, x, of food in the container at 9:00?

Which equation can be used to determine the number of cups of food, x, in the container at 9:00?

B.5 1/4 = x − 212 + 34
C.5 1/4 = x + 212 − 34

Answer:

c correct me if wrong though.

Step-by-step explanation:

c is 5 1/4 = x + 2 1/2 − 3/4 [ but if it is actually 212 and 34, then none of them are right. i'm just putting the division sign where i thought it should be coming off from the problem. ]

the reason why i said c is because on how it adds 2 and 1/2 cups INTO the container, meaning that there will be x + 2 1/2 amount of food in the container. then, REMOVING 3/4 cups out of the container would mean that we have to subtract it. so −3/4.

feel free to correct me if needed.
