Question

Write a multiplication equation and a division equation that this diagram could represent.

A tape diagram of three equal parts. Each part is labeled "eighteen". A brace from the beginning of the diagram to the end of the disgram is labeled "54".

Group of answer choices

3 • 18 = 54 and 54 ÷ 18 = 3

54 • 3 = 18 and 18 ÷ 3 = 54

c


3 • 18 = 54 and 54 ÷ 18 = 3



3 • 18 = 54 and 18 ÷ 54 = 3

Answer 1

121*5677*66766.546646

Explanation:

Answer 2

`3 * 18= 54` and
`54/18 = 3`

Explanation:

Given

`Sections = 3`

`Measurement=18` per section

`Total\ Measurement=54`

Required

Model the scenario

The model of this scenario is:

`Sections * Measurement = Total\ Measurements`

This gives:

`3 * 18 = 54` -- This represents the multiplication model

Divide both sides by 18

`3 * 18/18 = 54/18`

`3 * 1 = 54/18`

`3 = 54/18`

Reorder

`54/18 = 3` -- This represents the division model
