Question

1. what equation does the model below represent?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify total fraction pieces

The large rectangle represents 1, divided into 16 equal pieces each of value $\frac{1}{16}$.

Step2: Count highlighted pieces

The bracket shows 5 pieces of $\frac{1}{16}$, so their total is $5 \times \frac{1}{16} = \frac{5}{16}$.

Step3: Define the equation

The model shows that 1 minus the 5 highlighted sixteenths equals the remaining fraction.
<Expression>$1 - \frac{5}{16} = \frac{11}{16}$</Expression>

Answer:

$1 - \frac{5}{16} = \frac{11}{16}$
