Question

164 children and 31 adults saw the movie in the morning 125 children saw the movie in the afternoon how many fewer children saw the movie in the afternoon than in the morning?

Answer 1

This is a trick question and you have to gather just the relevant information and solve.

NOTE: The fact that 31 adults saw the movie is irrelevant to the question that is asked.

 

Step 1: Gather relevant information

So 164 children saw movie in morning

And 125 children saw movie in afternoon

 

Step 2: Solve

How many fewer = children who saw movie in morning - children who saw movie in afternoon

= 164 - 125

= 39 children

So answer is 39 fewer children.

 

Answer 2

you can just subtract the 2 children values in order to solve!

164 children in the morning and 125 children in the afternoon means

164 - 125 = 39 fewer children in the afternoon
