Which problem can be represented by the equation 49y−8=89 ?
a. a water filter filters 89 ounces of water per day. the first 8 ounces of water cannot be consumed and must be dumped out. how many days will it take the water filter to produce 49 ounces of consumable water?
b. a water filter filters 49 ounces of water per day. the first 8 ounces of water cannot be consumed and must be dumped out. how many days will it take the water filter to produce 89 ounces of consumable water?
c. a water filter filters 89 ounces of water per day. the first 49 ounces of water cannot be consumed and must be dumped out. how many days will it take the water filter to produce 8 ounces of consumable water?
d. a water filter filters 8 ounces of water per day. the first 49 ounces of water cannot be consumed and must be dumped out. how many days will it take the water filter to produce 89 ounces of consumable water?

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

We need to find a word problem that can represented by the given equation.

The required problem is : A water filter filters 49 ounces of water per day. The first 8 ounces of water cannot be consumed and must be dumped out. How many days will it take the water filter to produce 89 ounces of consumable water?

Let y be the number number of days it take the water filter to produce 89 ounces of consumable water.

Total water filtered in y days = 49y

The first 8 ounces of water cannot be consumed and must be dumped out.

Total consumable water filtered in y days = 49y - 8

We need to produce 89 ounces of consumable water.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
