Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs picked 57
pounds of apples. Snow White picked 13 . How
pounds and the Dwarfs picked the rest. How
many apples did the Dwaris pick?
Make a tape diagram of the sifuation:
Write an equation to match the diagram:

To find out how many pounds of apples the dwarfs picked, we start with the total amount of apples, which is 57 pounds. Snow White picked 13 pounds, so we can subtract that from the total to find out how much the dwarfs picked.

So, the equation would be:
Dwarfs’ apples = Total apples - Snow White’s apples
Dwarfs’ apples = 57 - 13 = 44

Therefore, the dwarfs picked 44 pounds of apples!

Now, let’s visualize this with a tape diagram. Picture a long rectangle representing the total: 57 pounds. On the left side, there’s a smaller rectangle for Snow White: 13 pounds. The remaining part of the long rectangle will show the dwarfs’ portion. This left part will be labeled with 44 pounds for the amount picked by the dwarfs.

It’s a visual way to see how the total splits up between Snow White and her dwarf friends!
