Question

Hannah collects 16 pounds of paper to recycle. Sid collects 9 pounds of

paper to recycle. How many more pounds of paper does Hannah collect
than Sid?

Answer 1

The answer to this question is 7 pounds of paper to recycle.

Explanation:

Because we are trying to find out how many more pounds Hannah collects than Sid, we need to find the difference between Hannah's pounds of paper and Sid's. So, we subtract Hannah's 16 pounds by Sid's 9 pounds, which gets us 7 pounds.

7 because 16-9 is 7
