Question

Jamie baked 24 biscuits.Her sister Mia ate 3 biscuits, and her brother David ate 2 biscuits. Which expression can Jamie use to find how many biscuits are left?

Answer 1

Answer: There are 19 biscuits left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of biscuits Jamie baked = 24

Number of biscuits eaten by her sister = 3

Number of biscuits eaten by her brother = 2

So, number of biscuits are left is given by

$24-(3+2)\\\\=24-3-2\\\\=24-5\\\\=19$

Hence, there are 19 biscuits left.

Answer 2

I believe it can be something like this


24-3-2=x


24 in total

3 mia

2 david

you can also do


3+2=(5-24)=19
