16 - 14 = 2

Think of it as in objects. You have 16 candies, and you eat 14. How many do you have left? You can count it and see. You have 2 left. So 16 - 14 = 2

Hope that helps :)

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of the fabric is $6\dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{20}{3}\ \text{yards}$

We need to find the number of scarves can she make if she needs 5/6 of a yard for each scarf.

Let she needs x scarves. So, ATQ

$x\times \dfrac{5}{6}=\dfrac{20}{3}\\\\x=\dfrac{20}{3}\cdot\dfrac{6}{5}\\\\x=8$

Hence, she can make 8 scarves.
