Answer:

B=true

Explanation:

Given function:

  • to find the correct statement
  • 1 3/4 and 3/4

Detail:

  • so we all know that 1 3/4 is less than 13/4+3/4 so we know that the chest is more than the turkey.
  • find which of them has the word less Turkey than cheese...

A—————-x

Clearly, it states that there is more cheese than Turkey so A is wrong 100%.

B—————-x

This statement states that she is buying less Turkey than cheese so this is true.

C—————-x

C is wrong since 1 3/4 is not twice as much as 1 3/4+3/4.

D—————x

D is wrong since she is buying more chest than Turkey not more Turkey than cheese...

Therefore, B would be the statement that is true.
