Question

A bowl has $12$ nuts, and a few more are added. Now, there are $19$ nuts in the bowl. Choose the correct addition equation for the total number of nuts

• A. $3+16=19$
• B. $12+7=19$
• C. $15+4=19$
• D. $10+9=19$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $12+7=19$

As there are $12$ nuts in the bowl, one addend will be $12$. In order to find the second addend, we will count forward after $12$ till $19$. We get $7$. Therefore, the second addend is $7$.

$12+7=19$.
$7$ more nuts are added in the bowl.
