Question

What is 92 divided by 6 using the area model strategy.

Answer 1

We will have the following shape:

We assume the area to be the greatest number, and then proceed to replace the values in the area formula for a rectangle, that is:

$A_r=l\cdot w$

Since we have the width and the area, we then replace:

$\Rightarrow92=2\cdot x$

Then, we solve for x:

$\Rightarrow\frac{92}{2}=x\Rightarrow x=46$
