Question

sarah sees an antelope and a giraffe on a nature show. the antelope is 3 feet tall. the giraffe is 18 feet tall. how many times as tall as the antelope is the giraffe? which bar model represents the problem? antelope 18 giraffe 18 18 18 antelope 18 giraffe 18 18 antelope 3 giraffe 3 3 3 3 3 antelope 3 giraffe 3 3 3 3 3 3

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the heights

The antelope is 3 feet tall, the giraffe is 18 feet tall. We need to find how many 3 - foot segments make up 18 feet.

Step2: Check the bar models

• First two models use 18 for antelope, which is incorrect (antelope is 3).
• Third model: Giraffe has 5 segments of 3, \(5\times3 = 15

eq18\).

• Fourth model: Giraffe has 6 segments of 3, \(6\times3=18\), which matches.

Answer:

The bar model where Antelope is labeled 3 and Giraffe is labeled with six 3s (the bottom - right bar model).
