Question

to boil the bamboo, jack needs 4 1/2 cups of water. he measures the correct amount of water using a glass that holds 3/4 cup. which model shows the amount of water the glass can hold in cups? two models with number lines from 0 to 5 and shaded rectangles above

Explanation:

Step1: Identify target fraction

The glass holds $\frac{3}{4}$ cup.

Step2: Analyze number line models

A number line from 0 to 1 divided into 4 equal parts means each part is $\frac{1}{4}$. Shading 3 of these parts represents $\frac{3}{4}$. The first model has a shaded segment matching $\frac{3}{4}$ (0 to the 3rd tick mark in a 4-part split of 0-1), while the second model shows a longer segment greater than 1 cup.

Answer:

The top (first) model, with the shorter shaded segment that spans 3 out of 4 equal parts between 0 and 1 on the number line.
