First Shot Put Throw: Problem #1

The officials say that 6 measuring sticks were used to measure a throw.

Represent this scenario on a number line.

First Shot Put Throw: Problem #2

We know that 6 measuring sticks minus 8 feet is equal to 4 measuring sticks.

Represent this scenario on the number line.

First Shot Put Throw: Problem #3

How about 3 measuring sticks minus 4 feet?

Where would that go?

Why?

A second shot put was thrown and…

… one official used 8 measuring sticks minus 12 feet to measure the throw exactly.

Another official used 6 of the same length measuring sticks to measure the throw exactly.

How long would each of these measuring sticks be?

A third shot put was thrown and…

…one official used 7 measuring sticks plus 18 feet to measure the throw exactly.

Another official used 9 of the same length measuring sticks to measure the throw exactly.

How long would each of these measuring sticks be?
