Question

A class has two guinea pigs. Fluffy weighs 11 kilograms, Marshmallow weighs kilogram less than Fluffy.

How much does Marshmallow weigh? Make an equation that can be used to find Marshmallow's weight in kilograms. Move a number or a symbol to each blank to make the equation. If there is no whole number, put a 0 in the first blank after the equals sign.

Answer 1

Marshmallow weighs 10 kilograms.

Explanation:

Let's use the variable "M" to represent Marshmallow's weight in kilograms.

Based on the information given, we know that Marshmallow weighs 1 kilogram less than Fluffy, whose weight is 11 kilograms. Therefore, we can write the equation:

M = 11 - 1

Simplifying the equation:

M = 10

So, Marshmallow weighs 10 kilograms.
