Question

A forester planted 3 acres in seedlings the first day, 5 acres the second day, and

4 acres the third day. If 3 acres of the seedlings were destroyed by fire, how
many acres of seedlings remain? *

Answer 1

9 acres remain

Explanation:

First day:

3 acres

Second day:

5 acres were planted. 5 + 3 = 8

Third day:

4 acres were planted. 4 + 8 = 12

If 3 acres were destroyed, we just subtract!

12 - 3 = 9.

9 acres of seedlings remain.

I hope this helped! :)
