Question

For a snack, sander ate a plum with 32 calories and several strawberries with 4 calories each. If the total number of calories is sameer’s snack was 56, how many strawberries did he eat ?

Answer 1

Answer:

6 strawberries

You subtract 32 from 56, which gives you 24. Then, if one strawberry is 4 calories, you can eat 6 of them to gain 24 calories.

32 + 24 = 56 ... So one plum (32) and six strawberries (4+4+4+4+4+4) gives you 56 calories, which is the total. That's how you can check your work.

Answer: 6
