Question

Bala bought 314 pounds of rice.

He used 15 of the rice over a week.

Which equation shows how many pounds of rice he used?

Answer 1

Bala used 299 pounds of rice.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many pounds of rice Bala used, we need to subtract the amount of rice he used from the initial amount of rice he bought.

The equation to represent this is:

314 pounds - 15 pounds = 299 pounds

Therefore, Bala used 299 pounds of rice.
