Question

read the story:jacob helped his grandma peel potatoes for the familys dinner. his grandma peeled 4 times as many potatoes as jacob peeled.pick the diagram that models the ratio in the story

Explanation:

Step1: Define the ratio

Let Jacob's peeled potatoes = $J$, Grandma's = $G$. The story states $G = 4J$, so the ratio $G:J = 4:1$.

Step2: Match to diagrams

First diagram: Grandma has 1 box, Jacob has 4 boxes (ratio 1:4, wrong).
Second diagram: Grandma has 4 boxes, Jacob has 1 box (ratio 4:1, correct).

Answer:

The correct diagram is the left one (with Grandma having 4 equal boxes and Jacob having 1 equal box).
