Question

One batch makes 15 lemon bars and Josh ate 2. If Claire ate twice as many as him, how many lemon bars would be left from the batch? *

Answer 1

There are 9 lemon bars left from the batch.

Explanation:

One batch = 15 lemon bars

Josh: ate 2 lemon bars

`15 - 2 = 13`

13 lemon bars remaining.

Claire: ate twice as many as Josh

Meaning: 2 × 2 = 4

`13 - 4 = 9`

9 lemon bars remaining.

There are 9 lemon bars left from the batch.
