Question

Write a problem that can be solved with a bar model that shows equal groups of liters. Then solve the problem

Answer 1

Bar models are used to illustrate

products and quotients

The equation modeled by the bar is

5x = 10

How to describe the bar

The bar is not given.

So, I will use the attached figure to

solve the question

From the attached figure, we have

the following highlights:

• The length of the bar is 10 units

• Each bar is x unit long

• There are 5 rectangles/squares

in the model

So, the equation of the bar is:

5* x= 10

Multiply 5 and x

5x= 10

Hence, the equation modeled by

the bar is 5x= 10
