Question

I'm in 6th grade so pls answer in 6th grade skill

Select all equations that represent the this question:

Priya is stacking blocks to make a tower. She takes a break when the tower is 2 1/2 feet tall, which is 5/8 of the height of the tower she wants to build. How tall is the tower when finished.

A. 2 1/2 x 8/5

B. 2 1/2 x 5/8

C. 2 1/2 x ? = 5/8

D. 5/8 x ?= 2 1/2

E. 2 1/2 divided by 5/8

F. 5/8 divided by 2 1/2

Answer 1

Ok so you know that 2 1/2 is the current height of 5/8 of the tower. You can eliminate answer choice B because you should not have a lower final height multiplying a number by something less than 1 will make it smaller. You can eliminate answer choice C because your question mark is on the wrong side of the equation. It will also give you a number less than 1 if you divide both sides by 2 1/2. D is the same as A so skip it for now. E is the same as D so ignore it for now. F is smaller than 1 so you can eliminate it. So your options are A D and E. All three are right if it is multiple select otherwise E is the most correct because it is written the same way as the equation but all 3 answers are correct
