Question

problem 5
write three equations that could represent this tape diagram.
tape diagram showing 54 as the total and three 18s as parts

Explanation:

Step1: Sum of parts equals total

The tape diagram has three parts of 18, so their sum is 54.
$18 + 18 + 18 = 54$

Step2: Multiplication (repeated addition)

Three times 18 equals 54.
$3 \times 18 = 54$

Step3: Division (total divided by part)

Total 54 divided by 3 parts gives 18 per part.
$54 \div 3 = 18$

Answer:

1. $18 + 18 + 18 = 54$
2. $3 \times 18 = 54$
3. $54 \div 3 = 18$
