A water molecule has a ratio of two hydrogen atoms to one oxygen atom. There are 48 atoms. Represent the ratio with a tape diagram.(1 point)

Answer 1

To represent the ratio of two hydrogen atoms to one oxygen atom with a tape diagram, we can draw two equal-sized rectangles for the hydrogen atoms and one rectangle for the oxygen atom.

Each rectangle represents one atom, and there are a total of 48 atoms.

So, we can divide the total length of the tape diagram into three equal parts, where two parts represent hydrogen atoms and one part represents the oxygen atom.

The tape diagram would look like this:

[ Rectangle for Hydrogen Atom ] + [ Rectangle for Hydrogen Atom ] + [ Rectangle for Oxygen Atom ]

Each rectangle would represent 16 atoms since 48 divided by 3 equals 16.
