Question

2. Solve 21 divided by ⅜ using a tape diagram. Label all parts and show all work.

Answer 1

Step 1

A tape diagram is a rectangular drawing that appears like a tape piece with divisions to support mathematical calculations. It is a graphic tool used commonly in solving ratio-based mathematical word problems. Tape diagrams are visual representations that represent the sections of a ratio by using rectangles.

Step 2:

`\begin{gathered} 21\text{ }(.)/(.)\text{ }(3)/(8) \\ =\text{ 21 }*\text{ }(8)/(3) \\ =\text{ 7 }*\text{ 8} \\ =\text{ 56} \end{gathered}`

Step 3

Let draw tape diagram

`\begin{gathered} Final\text{ answer} \\ =7\text{ }*\text{ 8} \\ =\text{ 56} \end{gathered}`
