\begin{align*}\mathbf{Describe:} \qquad \quad \ \text{The bar graph shows numbers of markers.}\!\\ {\;} \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \text{Three bars are missing.}\!\\ {\;} \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \text{FACTS give information about the missing bars.}\!\\ \mathbf{My \ Job:} \qquad \qquad \text{Use the FACTS. Draw the missing bars.}\!\\ \mathbf{Plan:} \qquad \qquad \quad \ \ \text{Figure out the number of markers for Jan and Kyle. Then use the FACTS.}\!\\ {\;} \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad 1. \ \text{Lily's bar: Multiply Jan's number of markers by} \ 2. \ \text{Draw Lily's bar.}\!\\ {\;} \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad 2. \ \text{Bob's bar: Subtract} \ 10 \ \text{from Kyle's number of markers. Draw Bob's bar.}\!\\ {\;} \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad 3. \ \text{Eric's bar: Divide Lily's number of markers by} \ 2. \ \text{Draw Eric's bar.}\!\\ \mathbf{Solve:}\end{align*}

\begin{align*}\mathbf{Check:} \qquad \quad \text{Lily has} \ 2 \times 30, \ \text{or} \ 60 \ \text{markers.}\!\\ {\;} \qquad \qquad \qquad \ \text{Bob has} \ 45 - 10, \ \text{or} \ 35 \ \text{markers.}\!\\ {\;} \qquad \qquad \qquad \ \text{Eric has} \ 60 \div 2, \ \text{or} \ 30 \ \text{markers.}\end{align*}
