Question

Carter wants to use the model above to solve 273÷13. Explain how he would find parte A, B and C of the model.​

Answer 1

• A = 20, B = 1, C = 1

Explanation:

From the given details and the model we can see

Given

• A * 13 = 260, area of bigger rectangle,
• C * 13 = B, area of smaller rectangle,
• 260 + B = 273, total area.

Find the values

• A = 260/13 = 20
• B = 273 - 260 = 13
• C = 13 / 13 = 1
