You completed 5 problems of your math homework. You have 8 problems left. How many problems were you assigned? Which answer shows how to solve this problem?
Add 8 and 5 because both numbers are less than 10.
Add 8 and 5 because you are given two parts and asked for the total.
Subtract: 8 – 5 because you have 8 problems left.
Subtract: 8 – 5 because you are given the total and a part and need to find the other part.
To find how many problems were assigned in total, you can add the number of problems completed and the number of problems left.
So, the total number of problems assigned is:
5 (completed) + 8 (left) = 13.
The correct answer is:
“Add 8 and 5 because you are given two parts and asked for the total.”
This explanation shows that you’re combining two known parts (completed and remaining) to find the total. If you have more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
