Question

Jill put 53 buttons in a box. Marci put 17 buttons in an other box. Jarrod says Marci has 33 fewer buttons than Jill. He thinks 53-20 is easier to subtract than 53-17. He subtracts 53-20 and gets 33. Do you agree or not agree with Jarid's thinking?

Answer 1

Answer:I do not agree

Step-by-step explanation:he needs to take away 17 if he takes away 20 not 17 he needs to return 20-17=3 so in easier words you do 53-20+3=36
