Question

Sheryl has a basket of ripe apples and peaches. The number of apples in the basket is 12 more than twice the number of peaches. If there are 36 apples in the basket, there are ? Peaches in the basket.

Answer 1

24 peaches

Explanation:

36-12=24

24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 32 34 35 36

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

subtract 12 from 36 that makes 24 to check that you have to count from 24 to 36 and if you count with your hands then count your fingers and you should have 12 fingers up.

Answer 2

12 Peaches in the basket
