I will solve this problem by analyzing the visual models provided in the image and writing the corresponding multiplication and division sentences for each.
First Model: Rubber Ducks
First, look closely:
- The first model shows 4 groups (ovals).
- Each group contains 2 yellow rubber ducks.
- This represents a multiplication scenario: 4 groups of 2.
- I need to write one multiplication sentence and two related division sentences based on this model.
The multiplication sentence is straightforward: 4 groups × 2 ducks per group = 8 total ducks.
The two related division sentences are:
1. Total ducks ÷ Number of groups = Ducks per group (8 ÷ 4 = 2)
2. Total ducks ÷ Ducks per group = Number of groups (8 ÷ 2 = 4)
Second Model: Purple Cones
Next, find information:
- The second model shows 3 groups (ovals).
- Each group contains 5 purple cones.
- This represents a multiplication scenario: 3 groups of 5.
- I need to write one multiplication sentence and two related division sentences based on this model.
The multiplication sentence is: 3 groups × 5 cones per group = 15 total cones.
The two related division sentences are:
1. Total cones ÷ Number of groups = Cones per group (15 ÷ 3 = 5)
2. Total cones ÷ Cones per group = Number of groups (15 ÷ 5 = 3)

Final Answer
Here are the completed sentences for both models:
For the rubber ducks model:
- Multiplication:
4 × 2 = 8
- Division:
8 ÷ 4 = 2
- Division:
8 ÷ 2 = 4
For the purple cones model:
- Multiplication:
3 × 5 = 15
- Division:
15 ÷ 3 = 5
- Division:
15 ÷ 5 = 3
This solution correctly relates the multiplication and division operations based on the visual grouping shown in each model.
