Q. The Wrap & Roll food truck is the most popular lunch spot in the city. They have v vegetarian wraps and 8 wraps containing meat on today's menu. There are 12 wraps on the menu in all.Which diagram models the story?Which equation models the story?Choices:(A) v+8=12(B) v−8=12
Understand the problem: First, let's understand the problem. The food truck has v vegetarian wraps and 8 meat wraps, totaling 12 wraps. We need to find the equation that correctly represents this situation.
Find the total wraps: We add the vegetarian wraps v and the meat wraps 8 to find the total number of wraps. The equation should reflect this addition to match the total given, which is 12.
Set up the equation: Set up the equation: v+8=12. This equation means "the number of vegetarian wraps plus 8 meat wraps equals 12 wraps in total."
Check equation with value: Check if the equation makes sense by substituting a reasonable value for v. If v=4, then 4+8=12, which is correct. This confirms our equation is set up correctly.
