Equations Using Tape Diagrams and Hangers

Front

What is a tape diagram?

Back

A tape diagram is a visual representation used to illustrate the relationships between quantities in a problem, often used in solving equations.

Front

What does 'h' represent in the equation 5(h + 2) = 20?

Back

In this equation, 'h' represents an unknown quantity that needs to be solved.

Front

How do you solve the equation 5(h + 2) = 20?

Back

To solve, first divide both sides by 5: h + 2 = 4. Then subtract 2 from both sides: h = 2.

Front

What is the purpose of using hangers in equations?

Back

Hangers are used to visually represent balance in equations, helping to understand how different quantities relate to each other.

Front

If 5(h + 2) = 20, what is the value of h?

Back

h = 2.

Front

What does the equation 5 + (h + 2) = 20 represent?

Back

This equation represents a situation where 5 is added to the quantity (h + 2) to equal 20.

Front

How do you find the value of x in the equation 5x = 50?

Back

Divide both sides by 5: x = 10.

Front

What does it mean for an equation to be balanced?

Back

An equation is balanced when both sides have the same value, indicating equality.

Front

If the green moon = 6, what does each purple tear drop equal to make the hanger balanced?

Back

Each purple tear drop equals 4.

Front

What is the solution to the equation 5h + 2 = 20?

Back

First, subtract 2 from both sides: 5h = 18. Then divide by 5: h = 3.6.
