Question

Esther spent 48 minutes in the grocery store. The checkout line took 13 minutes, and the rest of the time was spent shopping. Which equation can be used to find s, the number of minutes Esther spent shopping in the grocery store?

Answer 1

S=48-13

Explanation:

because s is the amount of time he spent then you need to subtract the time spent shopping (48) by the time he spent in the line (13)to get s wich is 35

Answer 2

35

Explanation:

48 is the total amount.

48-13 (cuz he spent that much time in line)

48-13 = 35

s=35
