Question

kai picks a total of 9 green peppers and tomatoes in the community garden. he picks 2 times as many green peppers as tomatoes. make a diagram to show the amount of green peppers and tomatoes that kai picks. kais vegetables total green peppers 9 tomatoes 2

Explanation:

Step1: Define variables

Let $t$ = number of tomatoes, $g=2t$ = number of green peppers.

Step2: Set total count equation

$t + 2t = 9$

Step3: Solve for tomato count

$3t=9 \implies t=\frac{9}{3}=3$

Step4: Find green pepper count

$g=2t=2\times3=6$

Step5: Update the diagram

For Green Peppers: Draw 6 pepper icons (remove 3 extra existing ones, keep 6 total).
For Tomatoes: Draw 3 tomato icons (add 1 more to the existing 2, total 3).

Answer:

The corrected diagram will have 6 green pepper icons in the "Green Peppers" row and 3 tomato icons in the "Tomatoes" row, with the total row remaining 9 for green peppers (corrected to match the 6 count, the original 9 was incorrect) and 3 for tomatoes, summing to 9 total vegetables.

• Green Peppers: 6 icons
• Tomatoes: 3 icons
