Grant has cup of ice cream in a bowl. He then removes two cups of ice cream to share with his little brother. Which of the following best explains the amount of ice cream left in Grant's bowl?
+134 You didn't give us any choices (the question says "which of the following") but I'm going to try and answer it anyways.
First of all, I need to address a mistake in the question that may lead to my giving the wrong answer. The question states that Grant has only one cup of ice cream in a bowl, then removes two cups to share. If this is a trick question, you have your answer, but I'm going to assume that this is a mistake and the he just has a bowl of ice cream.
So, if we make variables for the two things we need to solve this:
Bowl = b
Cup = c
We can easily make an expression that solves the question.
The expression that best explains the amount of ice cream left in Grant's bowl is:
b - 2c
Hope this helps :)
