Question

Ares has read at most 8 more books than Jasmin. If Jasmin has read 38 books, at most how many books has Ares read?

Answer 1

Area has read 46 because you add the 8 to Jasmin's 38 books

Answer 2

Let's use variables to make an equation:

Let A represent the number of books Ares has read, and let J represent the number of books Jasmin has read.

J + 8 = A

Now, because we know that Jasmine has read 38 books, let's input that into our equation and find the maximum number of books Ares has read.

38 + 8 = A
       46 = A

Therefore, at the most, Ares has read 46 books.

Hope this helps!
