What does the equation 2 + 7 = 9 represent in a tape diagram?

Back

It represents a tape divided into two parts: one part of length 2 and another part of length 7, which together equal a total length of 9.

Front

What does the equation 5 * 2 = 10 represent in a tape diagram?

Back

It shows a tape divided into 5 equal parts, each of length 2, resulting in a total length of 10.

Front

How do you determine the total length in a tape diagram?

Back

You add the lengths of all the parts represented in the tape diagram.

Front

What is the purpose of using equations with tape diagrams?

Back

Equations help to express the relationships shown in the tape diagrams mathematically, allowing for easier problem-solving.

Front

If a tape diagram shows a total of 12 and one part is 5, what is the length of the other part?

Back

The length of the other part is 12 - 5 = 7.

Front

What is the relationship between multiplication and tape diagrams?

Back

Multiplication can be represented as repeated addition in tape diagrams, showing how many times a number is added together.

Front

How can you use a tape diagram to solve for an unknown?

Back

You can set up an equation based on the lengths shown in the tape diagram and solve for the unknown value.
