Question

Carla needs 16 cartons of berries to make a berry cobbler. She already has 8 cartons of strawberries and 3 cartons of blueberries. How many more cartons of berries should Carla buy?

Answer 1

She needs 5 more cartons of berries

Explanation:

She already has 11 cartons of berries all together if you add both the amount of cartons of strawberries and blueberries.

8 + 3 = 11

So now you need 16 cartons, if you subtract 16 - 11 it equals 5.

So the answer would be 5.
