0 4x3 - 3x3; Joe read 3 more books than Craig

Answer 1

4*3 - 3*3;

Joe read 3 more books than Craig

Explanation:

Given

Craig:

3 books weekly for 3 weeks

Joe:

4 books weekly for 4 weeks

Required

How many more books did Joe read.

First, we need to determine number of books Craig reads

If in a week, Craig reads 3 books

Then in 3 weeks, Craig reads 3 * 3 books

Next, we need to determine number of books Joe reads

If in a week, Joe reads 3 books

Then in 4 weeks, Joe reads 4 * 3 books

Next, we determine the difference;

`Difference = 4 * 3 - 3 * 3`

`Difference = 12 - 9`

`Difference = 3`

Hence, Joe reads 3 more books

Option D answers the question.
