The baker packs 36 bran muffins in boxes of 4 . Draw and label a tape diagram to find the number of boxes he packs.
Cannot diagram here.
36/4 = 9
To draw a tape diagram to find the number of boxes the baker packs, we will represent the total number of bran muffins with a bar and divide it into equal parts to represent the number of boxes.
1. Start by drawing a long bar to represent the total number of bran muffins. Label it as "36".
_______ _______ _______ _______
2. Now, divide the bar into equal parts to represent the number of boxes. Since each box contains 4 muffins, we will divide the bar into groups of 4.
_______ _______ _______ _______
| | | | |
3. Label each part as "1 box" to indicate that each section represents one box.
_______ _______ _______ _______
| 1 box | | 1 box | | 1 box | | 1 box |
4. Count the number of boxes to determine the answer. In this case, there are a total of 9 boxes.
Therefore, the baker packs 9 boxes of bran muffins.
