Question

Kelly, her husband and two kids hosted a Thanksgiving dinner. Kelly cooked a turkey big enough to feed 20 people. Only 12 people came to the dinner party. Which expression shows how many days Kelly and her family of 4 can eat leftover turkey dinners?

A) (20 – 12) x 4
B) (20 – 12) ÷ 4
C) (20 – 12) – 2
D) 20 – (12 x 2)

Answer 1

Kelly, her husband and 2 kids = 4 people.

12 people came to the party that was prepared for 20.

subtract 12 from 20 and divide by family (4)

20-12/4 or in this case the answer is B
