Question

Draw a model. Then, write the numerical expressions.

Answer 1

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

a. The difference between 8 forty-sevens and 7 forty-sevens

Let ⊕ repesents forty- sevens.

So, Model can be represented by

8⊕ - 7⊕

=⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕-⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕

=⊕

Mathematically,

let x represents forty-sevens.

So, it becomes

$8x-7x=x$

b. 6 times the sum of 12 and 8.

Mathematically, it is expressed as

$6\times (12+8)\\\\=6\times 20\\\\=120$

Let 12 be written as 4×3

and 8 be written as 4×2

Let ⊕ represents 4 i.e. fours.

so, there are sum of 2 fours and 3 fours.

So, it becomes,

6×(⊕⊕+⊕⊕⊕)

=6×(⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕)

=⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕⊕

=4×30

=120
