Question

Model with Math Talla earns 85 c for cans she recycles. If she gets a nickel for each can, how many cans does Talla recycle? Draw a bar diagram to represent how to solve the problem.

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

We start by letting $$ c $$ be the number of cans Talla recycles. Since she earns a nickel (5¢) for each can, the total earnings (85¢) can be written as:
$$
5c = 85
$$

To find $$ c $$, divide both sides by 5:
$$
c = \frac{85}{5} = 17
$$

Thus, Talla recycles $$ 17 $$ cans.

**Bar Diagram**

Below is a bar diagram representing the 85¢ divided into 17 equal segments, where each segment represents 5¢ (one can):

$$
\underbrace{\boxed{5\text{¢}} \ \boxed{5\text{¢}} \ \boxed{5\text{¢}} \ \boxed{5\text{¢}} \ \boxed{5\text{¢}} \ \boxed{5\text{¢}} \ \boxed{5\text{¢}} \ \boxed{5\text{¢}} \ \boxed{5\text{¢}} \ \boxed{5\text{¢}} \ \boxed{5\text{¢}} \ \boxed{5\text{¢}} \ \boxed{5\text{¢}} \ \boxed{5\text{¢}} \ \boxed{5\text{¢}} \ \boxed{5\text{¢}} \ \boxed{5\text{¢}}}_{17\text{ segments}}
$$

Each box corresponds to one can recycled by Talla.
Talla recycles 17 cans. **Bar Diagram** 17 segments, each representing 5¢, totaling 85¢.
