Question

Diego is trying to find the value of X in 5 • x = 35. He draws his diagram but it’s not certain how to proceed. 1. Complete the tape diagram so represents the equation 5•x = 352. Find the value of x.Type the answer in the box belowX=__(Please use pictures or screenshots.

Answer 1

The tape diagram is:

Then we have that x times x equals to 35

What number multiplied 5 times is 35? The answer is 7

The answer to two is 7

We have the equation:

`x\cdot5=35`

this means, that x is a number that multiplied by 5 is equal to 35. We can then divide both sides by 5:

`x\cdot(5)/(5)=(35)/(5)`

By the multiplication table, we know that 5 *7 = 35. Thus:

`x=7`

The answer is x = 7
