so 24 bottles = 6 so you need to find out what 1 bottle cost so you do 6/24 = 0.25$ so then to find 10 you just easily multiple 10x0.25 = 2.5$

Answer: The expression shows to find the cost of 10 bottles of water is given by

[tex]\dfrac{6}{24}\times 10[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Cost of 24 bottles of water = $6

Using " Unitary Method":

Cost of 1 bottle of water is given by

[tex]\dfrac{6}{24}=\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]

Cost of 10 bottles of water is given by

[tex]\dfrac{1}{4}\times 10\\\\=\dfrac{5}{2}[/tex]

Hence, The expression shows to find the cost of 10 bottles of water is given by

[tex]\dfrac{6}{24}\times 10[/tex]
