Answer:
The required equation is 3y=36 and the tape diagram is shown below.
Explanation:
Consider the provided information.
We need to write a multiplication equation that has a solution of 12.
3y=36
We know we have to split 36 into three equal groups, so we have to divide by 3 to show this algebraically.
3y÷3=36÷3
y=12
Now check this with the help of tape diagram as shown.
Consider the figure 1.
This represents if 36 had to be split into three groups, how big would each group be?
By the tape diagram we concluded that the value of y is 12.
