Hello!

unknown = f

After taking 4 pieces of fruit out of a bag = -4

12 pieces of fruit remained = 12

12 - 4 = f

Answer: B. 12-4=f

Step-by-step explanation: The correct answer is B. We can use subtraction to find the number of pieces of fruit that were taken out of the bag, which is 12 - 4 = 8. Then, we can add the number of pieces of fruit that remained to the number of pieces that were taken out to get the total number of pieces that were in the bag to start, which is 8 + 4 = 12.

Therefore, there were 12 pieces of fruit in the bag to start.
