Question

In a three-game baseball series, the Braves scored 5 runs in the first game, 4 runs in the second game, and 0 runs in the last game. The Giants scored 6 runs in the first game, 1 run in the second game, and 3 runs in the last game. How many more runs did the Giants score during the series than the Braves?

A. 0; They scored the same amount.
B. 2 more runs
C. 0; The Braves scored 2 more runs.
D. 1 more run

Answer 1

Braves scores: (5 + 4 + 0) = 9 runs in 3 games

Giants scores: (6 + 1 + 3) = 10 runs in 3 games

The Giants scored (10 - 1) = 1 more run than the Braves.

Answer 2

D 1 more run
braves scored 9 in total
giants scored 10

giants minus braves= 1 more run
