Which equation is represented by the model? Susan created this strip diagram to represent a problem.

• 2.4 × 4 = 0.6

• 2.4 ÷ 4 = 0.6

• 2.4 × 0.6 = 4

• Not here

Answer explanation

The strip diagram indicates that 2.4 is being divided into 4 equal parts, resulting in 0.6 for each part. Thus, the correct equation is 2.4 ÷ 4 = 0.6.

The art teacher had 42 boxes of markers. Each box had 8 markers. She took all the markers out of the boxes and put them into 12 bag for her students. Which equation can be used to find m, the number of markers in each bag?

• 42+8+12=m

• 8x12÷42=m

• 42x8÷12=m

• 8x42-12=m

Answer explanation

To find the number of markers in each bag, first calculate the total markers: 42 boxes x 8 markers/box = 336 markers. Then, divide by the number of bags: 336 markers ÷ 12 bags = m. The equation is 42x8÷12=m.

Julie is planning a birthday party for her husband. She needs a lot of chairs for people to sit. She already has 6 chairs. She is going to the store to buy 16 sets of chairs. Each set of chairs comes with 4 chairs.

Julie wants to create an equation to represent s, the total number of chairs she will have for her husband's birthday party. Complete the equation by selection the correct operators from the drop down box.

s = 6 _ (16 x 4)

• ÷

• -

• x

• +

Answer explanation

To find the total number of chairs, we add the 6 chairs Julie already has to the number of chairs she will buy. Since she buys 16 sets of 4 chairs each, the equation is s = 6 + (16 x 4). Thus, the correct operator is +.

A cafeteria has 432 seats set in rows. Each row has 7 seats.

Use compatible numbers to estimate the number of rows that are in the cafeteria.

432÷7≈

Answer explanation

To estimate 432 ÷ 7, we can round 7 to 10 for easier calculation. 432 ÷ 10 = 43.2, which suggests there are about 43 rows.
