Question

1. 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.
if jacobs grandma peeled 16 potatoes, how many potatoes did they peel altogether?
□ potatoes

Explanation:

Step1: Find Jacob's peeled potatoes

Let Jacob's peeled potatoes be $x$. Grandma peeled 4 times that, so $4x=16$. Solve for $x$:
$x=\frac{16}{4}=4$

Step2: Calculate total peeled potatoes

Add grandma's and Jacob's potatoes:
$16 + 4 = 20$

Step3: Identify correct diagram

Grandma's amount is 4×Jacob's, so the left diagram (grandma has 4 blocks, Jacob has 1 block) matches.

Answer:

Correct diagram: The left diagram (grandma with 4 equal blocks, Jacob with 1 equal block)
Total potatoes peeled: 20
