A?

Before Chad shared his starburst with his friends he had 12 pieces. He gave 2 orange ones to Katy and 2 green ones and a red one to BRett. Which expression can be used to find the number of starbursts that Chad had left?
A.12-(2/12+3/12)
B.1-(1/6+1/4)
C.1/6+1/4
D.2/12+3/12
A?

Answer 1

Your first answer is right.

But the second problem has a similar flaw to the one we discussed a few minutes ago.

The problem ask us to find the number of starbursts Chad had left.

12 - (2 + 3) = 7 pieces left

None of your answer choices is correct.

12 - (2/12 + 3/12) = 12 - 5/12 = 11 7/12

Answer 2

So should I ask the teacher about the two problems that are faulty? But is A for the starburst question partly right? Is it just missing a few stuff like in the other question?

Answer 3

Yes, ask your teacher. None of the answers comes even close to answering the question.
