(1) There are 5 people in Edgar's family. They have 3 loaves of pumpkin bread to share equally. Edgar wants to know how much pumpkin bread he will get. (1) First, how many wholes are needed for the model? (1)

To model how Edgar's family shares the 3 loaves of pumpkin bread equally among 5 people, you'll need to determine the number of "wholes" required for the model. **Answer:** **3 wholes** are needed for the model. **Explanation:** - **Total Loaves:** There are **3 loaves** of pumpkin bread to be shared. - **Number of People:** The bread is to be divided among **5 people**. When creating a visual or mathematical model (such as using fraction bars or pie charts), each whole represents one entire loaf of bread. Since there are 3 loaves in total, you'll need **3 separate wholes** in your model to represent the total amount of pumpkin bread before it's divided among the family members. **Next Step:** To determine how much each person receives, you would divide each of the 3 wholes into 5 equal parts. This means each person gets: \[ \frac{3 \text{ loaves}}{5 \text{ people}} = \frac{3}{5} \text{ of a loaf per person} \] If you need further assistance with creating the model or understanding the division, feel free to ask!
