Question

problem 6
complete the tape diagram to represent and solve the problem.
mai picked 1 cup of strawberries, which is enough for \\(\frac{3}{4}\\) of a pan of strawberry oatmeal bars.
how many cups does mai need for a whole pan?
cups

Explanation:

Step1: Define the relationship

Let \( x \) be the number of cups needed for a whole pan. We know that \( 1 \) cup is \(\frac{3}{4}\) of \( x \), so we can write the equation \( \frac{3}{4}x = 1 \).

Step2: Solve for \( x \)

To solve for \( x \), we divide both sides of the equation by \(\frac{3}{4}\), which is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal \(\frac{4}{3}\). So \( x = 1\times\frac{4}{3}=\frac{4}{3}\).

Answer:

\(\frac{4}{3}\)
