Question

Ms. Nellies has 2 pints of vinegar for her students to use in a science experiment. Eachgroup of students needs spint of vinegar. Trey draws the number line model and writes theequation below to help Ms. Nellies figure out how many š -pint servings of vinegar she has.Are Trey's number line model and equation correct?1012222 + = 3;Click the arrows to choose an answer from each menu.Trey's number line model is Choose... because it represents the expressionChoose.. The correct equation is choose.... Ms. Nellies has enoughvinegar for Choose.... groups of students.

Answer 1

It is given that Ms N has 2 and a half pints of vinegar and each student needs 3/8 pints of vinegar for the experiment.

Hence the number of students that Ms N can give the vinegar is given by:

Hence the number of students is:

$\frac{5}{2}\times\frac{8}{3}=\frac{20}{3}$

Hence the number of students is:

$\frac{20}{3}=6\frac{2}{3}$

She can distribute among 6 students and she will have 2/3 pints remaining with her.

The model and the calculation both are wrong in the image

It will be 6 students and 2/3 will remain.
