Question

The third problem and I need to draw a tape diagram

Answer 1

QUestion 3.

Given:

Number of identical bricks intially weighed = 6

Additional brick weighed = 3 pounds

Total = 27 pounds of chocolate

Let's draw a tape diagram for this situation.

We have:

6x + 3 = 27

Let's solve for x.

Subtract 3 from both sides:

6x + 3 - 3 = 27 - 3

6x = 24

Divide both sides by 6:

`\begin{gathered} (6x)/(6)=(24)/(6) \\ \\ x=4 \end{gathered}`

We have the tape diagram below:
