The problem displayed on the screen asks about a multiplicative comparison involving free throws made by Emma and Dina.

- **Emma makes 5 free throws**.
- **Dina makes 35 free throws**.
- The question asks, "How many times as many free throws as Emma does Dina make?"

We need to find a bar model that represents the relationship between the two quantities: Dina's 35 free throws and Emma's 5 free throws.

### Solution
- Dina makes 35 free throws, which is 7 times the amount Emma makes (since \(35 \div 5 = 7\)).
- The correct bar model should show **Emma** with a bar of 5 and **Dina** with 7 bars, each representing 5 free throws to make a total of 35 free throws.

### Correct Bar Model
- The **bottom-right option** is correct because:
  - Emma’s bar shows 5 free throws.
  - Dina’s bar shows seven sections, each with 5 free throws, which totals 35.

Would you like more details or further explanation?

Here are 5 questions to think about:
1. How do you multiply to check if Dina's total is correct?
2. What if Emma had made 10 free throws, how would the comparison change?
3. Can you create a similar comparison problem with different numbers?
4. What are some strategies to recognize multiplicative comparison problems?
5. How can bar models help in solving word problems?

**Tip:** When solving comparison problems, always identify the smaller and larger quantities, then check how many times the smaller fits into the larger.
