Question

Kendall has 37 inches of yarn to create an outline of the Big Dipper for her science project. Which equation could be used to find out how many inches of yarn will be left when she has finished the project? A) x = (7 + 4 + 8 + 4 + 4 + 5) B) x = 37 - (7 + 8 + 4 + 4 + 5) C) x = 37 - (7 + 4 + 8 + 4 + 4 + 5) D) Not enough information is given.

Answer 1

The equation could be used to find out how many inches of yarn will be left when Kendall has finished the project is option D. Not enough information is given

Solution:

Given, Kendall has 37 inches of yarn to create an outline of the Big Dipper for her science project.

We have to find which equation could be used to find out how many inches of yarn will be left when she has finished the project?

In order to find how many inches of yarn left we just need to subtract the used amount of yarn from available piece of yarn, but we are not given any information about the amount of used piece of yarn.

So, not enough information is given,

Hence, option d is correct
