which bar model represents the situation?
what is the price of one small mushroom pizza?
6 + t =
the 3 pizzas cost $24 altogether. 3 times what number is 24?
3 × ? = 24

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the equation

We know that \(3\times(6 + t)=24\) (from the bar model and the pizza problem context, since there are 3 parts each of \(6 + t\) summing to 24). First, we can find the value of \(6 + t\) by dividing both sides of the equation \(3\times(6 + t)=24\) by 3.
\(\frac{3\times(6 + t)}{3}=\frac{24}{3}\)

Step2: Simplify the equation

Simplifying both sides, we get \(6 + t = 8\) (because \(\frac{24}{3}=8\) and \(\frac{3\times(6 + t)}{3}=6 + t\)).

Answer:

\(8\)
