Answer:

The operation used is the Subtraction operation

39 bags of marshmallows

Explanation:

The operation we would be using here is the Subtraction operation.

Total number of bags if Marshmallows bought = 48 bags

Number of people present = Taylor + 10 friends = 11 people

Amount of Marshmallows left = 9 bags

Hence, the number of bags of marshmallows that Taylor and her friends went through is calculated as:

48 bags of marshmallows - 9 bags of marshmallows

= 39 bags of marshmallows
