Question

Jackie plans to plans to paint the finger nails of 8 friends. She finishes painting 4 of her friends nails. If each friend has ten nails to paint, how many nailes does Jackie still need to paint? Write and solve an equation to show how many more nails Jackie needs to paint.

Answer 1

Jackie has 8 friends, and each friend has 10 nails. So Jackie needs to paint a total of 8 x 10 = 80 nails.

If Jackie has already painted 4 friends' nails, she has painted 4 x 10 = 40 nails.

To find out how many more nails Jackie needs to paint, we can subtract the number of nails she has already painted from the total number of nails she needs to paint:

80 - 40 = 40

So Jackie still needs to paint 40 nails.

Answer 2

Answer:40

Explanation:

each friend has 10 nails and there is a total of 8, 8 x 10 80 - 40 = 40 in other words Jackie has to paint 40 finger nails
