Answer 1

Choice a can be solved using addition, choice b can be solved using multiplication, and choice c can be solved using subtraction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Choice a is a problem that can be solved using basic addition. If Brendon starts with a certain number of t-shirts and then buys more at the store, we can find out how many t-shirts he has in total by adding the two quantities together. For example, if Brendon has 5 t-shirts and buys 3 more, he will have 5 + 3 = 8 t-shirts in total.

In choice b, we can use multiplication to solve the problem. If there are chocolates in each box and Mike has boxes of chocolates, we can find out the total number of chocolates by multiplying the number of boxes by the number of chocolates in each box. For example, if there are 10 chocolates in each box and Mike has 5 boxes, he will have 10 x 5 = 50 chocolates in total.

In choice c, we can use subtraction to solve the problem. If Ellen starts with a certain number of pieces of gum and then eats some at school, we can find out how many pieces she has left by subtracting the number of pieces she ate from the initial quantity. For example, if Ellen has 10 pieces of gum and eats 2 at school, she will have 10 - 2 = 8 pieces of gum left.
