Question

Grade 5-

Josh has been fishing from the bank of a lake. He has 4 fish in each of 3 buckets. He
has decided to release 5 fish. Which expression represents this situation?
A (4 x 5) - 3
B (5-3) x 4
C (5 x 3) - 4
D (3 x 4) - 5

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

we need to find out how many fished he got altogether so 4 x 3 gives out 12 right? once you got the total number of fishes, you subtract 5 because Josh had released 5 fishes. hence, (3x4) - 5
