Molly has 9 cups of flour. if this is 3/4 of the number she needs to make bread, how many cups does she need?
a. construct the tape diagram by reading it backward. draw a tape diagram and label the unknown.
b. next, shade in 3/4.
c. label the shaded region to show that 9 is equal to 3/4 of the total.
d. analyze the model to determine the quotient.

a. In constructing the tape diagram,

Take a grid that shows the total number of cups of flour required to make bread,

b. Shade 3/4th of the total grid,

c. According to the question,

part of the grid = 9

Mention it on the model,

d. By cross multiplication,

Hence, the whole part of the grid would be 12.

That is, 12 cups are needed to make the bread.

the correct answer is b. negative exponential growth.

step-by-step explanation:

you can tell it's an exponential function because it decreases rapidly then levels out and never touches the x-axis.

it is negative because the y-axis decreases as the x-axis increases.

therefore it is a negative exponential growth graph.

hope i !
