Russell planted a flower bed that is 1.6 square meters. Jackie planted a flower bed that is 16 tenths square meters. Draw a quick picture to model the two areas

(16/10)m^2 = 1.6 m^2.

Lucia abd Stephen each drew a quick picture to model 2.04.

Whose model is correct! Explain the "ERROR"

16/2

To draw a quick picture to model the two areas, we can draw two rectangles, one representing Russell's flower bed and the other representing Jackie's flower bed. The dimensions of the rectangles will be proportional to the given areas.

Let's start with Russell's flower bed, which is 1.6 square meters. Since we don't have specific dimensions provided, we can choose any dimensions that result in the given area. For example, we can draw a rectangle that is 4 meters long and 0.4 meters wide. This would give us an area of 1.6 square meters.

Now, let's move on to Jackie's flower bed, which is 16/10 (or 1.6) square meters. We can use the same strategy as before and draw a rectangle that is also 4 meters long but 0.4 meters wider. This would give us a rectangle that is 4.4 meters long and 0.4 meters wide.

And that's how we can draw a quick picture to model Russell's and Jackie's flower beds.
