• The farmer has 12 chickens

• The farmer threw away 9 eggs because they were cracked.
• The farmer kept 4 eggs for himself and took the rest to sell at a market.
Which expression can be used to show that the farmer took 47 eggs to the market?

Respuesta :

Answer:

12×5 =60

60-9 =51

51-4 =47

Step-by-step explanation:

the farmer has 12 chickens and each chicken laid 5 eggs which is 12×eggs laid(5) = 60

he thre away 9 eggs which means that we are going to subtract 9 from 60

60-9=51

then he took 4 eggs for himself know we subtract 4 from 51

51-4= 47

and 47 are the eggs he took to the market
