Question

fia practices for dance team. she does 48 spins in the evening. fia does 6 times as many spins in the evening as she does in the morning. how many spins does fia do in the morning?
let s stand for the number of spins fia does in the morning. which bar model represents the problem?

Explanation:

Step1: Define the variable

Let $s$ = morning spins.

Step2: Set up the equation

Evening spins = $6s$, and evening spins = 48, so:
$$6s = 48$$

Step3: Solve for $s$

Divide both sides by 6:
$$s = \frac{48}{6} = 8$$

Step4: Match to bar model

The bar model needs morning as 1 block ($s$) and evening as 6 equal blocks totaling 48, which is the bottom-right model.

Answer:

1. Fia does 8 spins in the morning.
2. The correct bar model is the bottom-right one: Morning has 1 block labeled $s$, Evening has 6 identical blocks labeled $s$ that together equal 48.
