that, the rope was 56 feet long.
If f = the number of feet Marcus cut off the rope, which mathematical
sentence expresses the information above?

B. 75 - f= 56
O C. f- 75 = 56
D. 75 + f = 56

Answer 1

B.

Explanation:

If you know that 75-56=f, then you would use the distributive property to make it 75-f=56

Answer 2

B

Explanation:

If 75-56=19 then 19+56=75 and 75-19 = 56
