Question

Jonah baked a berry pie. The recipe called for 9 ounces of blackberries, 10 ounces of raspberries, and 12 ounces of strawberries. In the supermarket, he only found 12-ounce containers of berries. He bought 1 container of each kind of berry. After he baked the pie, how many ounces of berries did Jonah have left?

Answer 1

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

He bought 1, 12 ounce container for each of the set of berries. The blackberries needed 9 but he had 12 so you take the 9 away from the 12 and you are left with 3 you do the same with the raspberries and you are left with 2 then the strawberries are already at 12 ounces so you add up the 3 and the 2 and you get 5.
