2.6 Apprentice Task Homework \( \begin{array}{l}\text { Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs picked } 57 \\ \text { pounds of apples. Snow White picked } 13 \\ \text { pounds and the Dwarfs picked the rest. How } \\ \text { many apples did the Dwarfs pick? } \\ \text { Make a tape diagram of the situation: }\end{array} \)

To solve the problem step by step, we need to determine how many pounds of apples the Dwarfs picked after knowing the total amount picked and how much Snow White picked. ### Known Conditions: 1. Total apples picked: \( 57 \) pounds 2. Apples picked by Snow White: \( 13 \) pounds ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Calculate the amount picked by the Dwarfs:** - We can find the amount picked by the Dwarfs by subtracting the amount picked by Snow White from the total amount. - Let \( D \) represent the amount picked by the Dwarfs. \[ D = \text{Total apples} - \text{Apples picked by Snow White} \] Substituting the known values: \[ D = 57 - 13 \] 2. **Perform the calculation:** \[ D = 44 \] ### Conclusion: The Dwarfs picked \( 44 \) pounds of apples. ### Tape Diagram: To visualize the situation with a tape diagram, we can represent the total amount of apples as a single tape divided into two parts: one part for Snow White and the other for the Dwarfs. - The entire tape represents \( 57 \) pounds. - One segment of the tape (representing Snow White) is \( 13 \) pounds. - The remaining segment (representing the Dwarfs) is \( 44 \) pounds. ``` |---------------------|---------------------| | 13 lbs | 44 lbs | | Snow White | Dwarfs | |---------------------|---------------------| | 57 lbs | | Total Apples | |---------------------| ``` Thus, the Dwarfs picked \( 44 \) pounds of apples.
