Question

Collier can lift 45 pounds less than Kaleb. If collier can lift 270 pounds, how much can Kaleb lift?

Answer 1

315 pounds

Explanation:

Due to the problem saying "less than", this problem is actually not dealing with subtraction. It is actually dealing with addition, because we must add 270 to 45 to find how many pounds Kaleb can lift.

270 + 45 = 315

Thus, the answer is 315 pounds.
