The model comprises four boxes, two each of 100 and 50. The multiplication equation is 2 × 100 + 2 × 50, resulting in 300. The division equation, representing the area ratio, is 2.
Let's break down the given model into multiplication and division equations step by step.
Multiplication Equation:
The model shows 4 boxes, where two boxes are labeled "100" and two boxes are labeled "50."
Let's represent the number of boxes labeled "100" as a and the number of boxes labeled "50" as b.
The multiplication equation for the model is:
Since there are two boxes labeled "100," a is 2. Since there are two boxes labeled "50," b is also 2.
Substitute these values into the equation:
Simplify:
200 + 100
The result is:
300
So, the multiplication equation representing the model is 300.
Division Equation:
Now, let's represent the model using a division equation.
The model shows two different box dimensions:
-
-
Let's represent the total area of the boxes labeled "100" as
and the total area of the boxes labeled "50" as
.
The division equation for the model is:
For the boxes labeled "100," the area is
. Since there are two such boxes,
.
For the boxes labeled "50," the area is
. Since there are two such boxes,
.
Substitute these values into the equation:
Simplify:
The result is: 2
So, the division equation representing the model is 2.
