Question

Helpppppp meeeeeee plz ​

Answer 1

13 boys were present

Explanation:

→ In total there is 60 fourth graders at the Small Tree School.

→ 43 of them are girls and this information is given to us which means that there is 17 boys because 60 - 43 = 17

→ We want to know know how many boys were at the school on Friday considering that 5 fourth grade girls and 4 fourth grade boys were absent

→ We know that there is a total of 17 boys and 4 fourth grade boys were absent so 17 - 4 will give us the number of boys that were present on Friday so 17 - 4 = 13. 13 boys were present considering 5 fourth grade girls and 4 fourth grade boys were absent

Answer 2

60 total fourth graders and 43 are girls. To find the number of boys, subtract.

60 - 43 = 17 boys

If 5 girls were absent, subtract.

43 - 5 = 38 girls present

If 4 boys were absent, subtract.

17 - 4 = 13 boys present

Therefore, there were 13 boys present.

Best of Luck!
