To determine how many chores Hunter has left to do, we can subtract the number of chores he has already completed from the total number of chores he has to do.
Hunter has 12 chores and has completed 5 chores, so:
12 - 5 = 7
Hunter has 7 chores left to do.
Now, let's look for the equations that show how to make 10 to solve the problem. We can analyze the provided responses:
- 9 + 3 = 12, 12 + 4 = 16
- 8 + 2 = 10, 10 + 5 = 15
- 7 + 3 = 10, 10 + 3 = 13
- 5 + 5 = 10, 10 + 2 = 12
To make 10, we want an equation that sums to 10.
The only relevant option here is option 4 which shows:
- 5 + 5 = 10, which helps in visualizing how 5 chores fit into a total of 10 chores, although it's not directly tied to the problem of how many chores remain.
- 10 + 2 = 12 helps us reach back to the original 12.
So, while option 4 has the closest aspects of solving the problem using a sum that reaches 10 (in terms of his completed chores), none of the options directly relate to the subtraction needed for this specific problem.
Thus, option 4 (5 + 5 = 10, 10 + 2 = 12) could be seen as the most aligned since it involves reaching 10 from a related number, although it may not perfectly encapsulate the simplest way to express this problem.
Therefore, the answer for making 10 with respect to this context would be: 5 + 5 = 10, 10 + 2 = 12 (option 4).
