Question

Elise drew p pictures. Nora drew 70 fewer pictures than Elise. Write an expression that shows how many pictures Nora drew

Answer 1

Answer:

p - 70

Step-by-step explanation:

• elsie drew = p

70 less than p

• nora drew = p - 70

Answer 2

Answer:

p - 70

Step-by-step explanation:

We're looking for the number of drawings Nora made, which is 70 fewer than Elise's, p. In instances like this, always subtract the number of less drawn from the quantity drawn by the other person, which is 70 - p. However, this would almost certainly result in a negative response, which isn't feasible. If you flip them over, you'll get p - 70.
