Keenan made 32 cups of vegetable broth. Keenan then filled x small jars and y large jars with all the vegetable broth he made. The equation 3x+5y = 32 represents this situation. Which is the best interpretation of 5y in this context?
Correct answer: C (parsed from the explanation — this source omits an answer key for this item)
Explanation
3 +5 =32 Choice C is correct. It’s given that the equation x y represents the situation where Keenan filled x small jars and y large jars with all the vegetable 32 broth he made, which was cups. Therefore, 3x represents the total number of cups of vegetable broth in the small jars and 5y represents the total number of cups of vegetable broth in the large jars. Choice A is incorrect. The number of large jars Keenan filled is represented by y, not 5y. Choice B is incorrect. The number of small jars Keenan filled is represented by x, not 5y. Choice D is incorrect. The total number of cups of vegetable broth in the small jars is represented by 3x, not 5y. 44 SAT PRACTICE TEST #10 ANSWER EXPLANATIONS SAT ANSWER EXPLANATIONS n MATH: MODULE 2
