The division represented by the model is -24÷-3.
To determine the division represented by the model, we can rewrite the expression step by step:
-24 - (-8) - (-8) - (-8) = -24 - 3(-8) = 0
Step 1: Simplify the first subtraction:
-24 - (-8) = -24 + 8 = -16
Step 2: Simplify the next two subtractions:
-16 - (-8) - (-8) = -16 + 8 + 8 = 0
So, the division represented by the model is -16 ÷ -3.
