Question 1.

Question 2:

Explanation:

Question 1:

                              w = 10 × 8 lbs = 80 lbs

Explanation of the drawing:

Each cell represents 8 lbs, which was the weight when she was born. There are 10 cells, representing that the amount 8 lbs is repeated 10 times.

Then, the multiplication is represented  an abbreviated sum:

Question 2:

        d         =          80 lbs   -     8 lbs   =       72 lbs

        ↑                       ↑                  ↑                  ↑

 difference       10 years old      born          solution
