solution

This area model shows a large rectangle made of four smaller rectangles.

0.6

360

1.8

First, find the multiplication equation the model represents. The product of the large rectangle's side lengths is equal to the area.

The length along the left is 40 + 3. So, one factor is 43.

The length along the top is 9 + 0.6. So, the other factor is 9.6.

The area of the large rectangle is the product. Add the areas of the smaller rectangles to find this number.

So, the model represents the multiplication equation

9.6

412.8

Now, use the multiplication equation to write the related division equation.
