Question

Jamie drew this model to solve a problem. Which problem did she solve? Circle the correct answer.

29 30
40
48

A) 40 – 11 = 29

B) 48 - 18 = 29

C) 48 - 18 = 30

D) 48 - 19 = 29

Answer 1

Jamie's model could solve either A) 40 – 11 = 29 or D) 48 – 19 = 29, as both result in 29.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jamie's model appears to be solving a subtraction problem. Given the options A through D and the model showing the numbers 29, 30, 40, and 48, we can deduce that Jamie is solving the problem represented by the model with the numbers provided.

To find the correct problem, we apply subtraction to see which one results in the number 29. Here's how we check each problem:

• A) 40 – 11 does equal 29, which matches one of the numbers given.
• B) 48 – 18 does not equal 29, it equals 30.
• C) Again, 48 – 18 does not equal 29; it equals 30 as already established.
• D) 48 – 19 equals 29, which matches one of the numbers given.

Therefore, the correct problems that Jamie's model could represent are A) 40 – 11 = 29 or D) 48 – 19 = 29, as both equations result in 29.
