Tape diagrams are models that used to represent ratios using rectangles
The area on the second tape diagram is 750 square cm
How to determine the ratio
From the tape diagram, we have the following area ratio
[tex]Ratio = 2cm^2 : 3cm^2[/tex]
Rewrite the ratio, as follows:
[tex]First : Second = 2cm^2 : 3cm^2[/tex]
When the area on the first tape is 500 cm^2, the ratio becomes
[tex]500 cm^2 : Second = 2cm^2 : 3cm^2[/tex]
Multiply the ratio on the right side by 250.
So, we have:
[tex]500 cm^2 : Second = 2cm^2 * 250 : 3cm^2 * 250[/tex]
Evaluate the products
[tex]500 cm^2 : Second = 500cm^2 : 750cm^2[/tex]
By comparison, we have:
[tex]Second = 750cm^2[/tex]
Hence, the area on the second tape diagram is 750 square cm
