Question

1) The tape diagram represents the ratio of the time you spend reading to the timeyour friend spends reading. You read for 8 hours. How many hours does yourfriend spend reading? *

Answer 1

By a quick online search, i found two tape diagrams:

Step-by-step explanation:So you have one block, and your friend has two.

We know that you work for 3 hours, this means that your only block must represent 3 hours.

And all the blocks represent the same amount of time, then each one of the two blocks of your friend also represents 3 hours.

Then in total, he tutored for 3 hours + 3 hours = 6 hours.

14) You: -

Friend: - - - - -

In this case, you still have only one block, but now your friend has 5.

Using the same reasoning as above, we can conclude that each block represents 3 hours, and your friend has 5 of them, this means that he tutored for:

5*3 hours = 15 hours

Answer 2

Your friend spends 24 hours reading.

To determine the number of hours your friend spends reading, we need to analyze the given tape diagram and establish the ratio between your reading time and your friend's reading time.

Assume the tape diagram is divided into 12 equal segments, representing the total reading time.

If you read for 8 hours, which corresponds to 8 segments, then the ratio of your reading time to your friend's reading time would be 8:4.

To find the number of hours your friend spends reading, we can set up a proportion:

8/4 = x/y

where x represents the number of hours your friend spends reading and y represents the total reading time.

Solving for x, we get:

x = (8/4) * y

Assuming the total reading time is 12 hours, we can plug in the values:

x = (8/4) * 12

x = 24

Therefore, your friend spends 24 hours reading.
