Question

Josh and Bella picked apples from a tree. Josh had 3 less than 2/3 of Bellas apples. If Josh had 7 apples, how many apples did Bella have?

Answer 1

Bella had 15 apples

Explanation:

First, you see that Josh has 3 less than 2/3 of Bellas apples. If Josh has 7 apples you would add 3 to 7 which = 10. Assuming that 10 = 2/3 of Bellas apples, then you would subtract half of 10 and get 5. 1/3 = 5 apples. Lastly, you should do 5 * 3 which = 15. Bella had 15 apples.
