Math Problem Statement

Rob sees 5 raccoons. Talia sees 4 more raccoons than Rob. How many raccoons do they see? Eli has a box with 12 eggs. His other box has no eggs. How many eggs are in both boxes? Leah has a bowl with 16 fish. Some fish have long tails. 7 fish have short tails. How many fish have long tails? Sasha has 8 red apples. She has 3 fewer green apples than red apples. How many apples does she have?

Solution

Let's solve the math problems one by one from the image.

  1. Rob sees 5 raccoons. Talia sees 4 more raccoons than Rob. How many raccoons do they see?

    • Rob sees 5 raccoons.
    • Talia sees 5 + 4 = 9 raccoons.
    • Total raccoons = 5 + 9 = 14 raccoons.
  2. Eli has a box with 12 eggs. His other box has no eggs. How many eggs are in both boxes?

    • First box = 12 eggs.
    • Second box = 0 eggs.
    • Total eggs = 12 + 0 = 12 eggs.
  3. Leah has a bowl with 16 fish. Some fish have long tails. 7 fish have short tails. How many fish have long tails?

    • Total fish = 16.
    • Fish with short tails = 7.
    • Fish with long tails = 16 - 7 = 9 fish.
  4. Sasha has 8 red apples. She has 3 fewer green apples than red apples. How many apples does she have?

    • Red apples = 8.
    • Green apples = 8 - 3 = 5.
    • Total apples = 8 + 5 = 13 apples.

Would you like details or have any questions? Here are some related questions for further practice:

  1. If Rob saw 3 fewer raccoons, how many would he see?
  2. If Eli added 5 more eggs to the first box, how many eggs would he have in total?
  3. If 4 more fish were added to Leah's bowl, how many would have long tails if the new fish all had long tails?
  4. If Sasha had 2 more green apples, how many apples would she have in total?
  5. If Rob and Talia each saw 2 more raccoons, how many raccoons would they see combined?
