Question

Gianna bought 6.2 pounds of berries. She used 4.8 pounds of the berries to make a pie. What equation can be used to find how many pounds of berries, b, Gianna has left over? A 6.2 + 4.8 = b

B b − 6.2 = 4.8
C 4.8 + b = 6.2
D b − 4.8 = 6.2

Answer 1

The answer is c because I had this question

Answer 2

The answer is C. 4.8+b=6.2

This is because the total amount of berries she bought was 6.2 pounds

She used 4.8 pounds of berries and is left with b amount of berries

If you add the amount of berries used (4.8) to the amount left (b) you will get 6.2 pounds of berries

So the equation you can use to find the amount of berries left is 4.8 + b = 6.2
