Question

Look at the image below of the set of pink and blue paint cans. Identify the related addition and subtraction equation representing the image.

• A. $10+6=16;16–6=10$
• B. $10+5=15;15–10=5$
• C. $9+6=15;15–6=9$
• D. $9+7=16;16–7=9$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $9+6=15;15–6=9$

Number of red paint cans $=9$
Number of blue paint cans $=6$
Total number of paint cans $=9+6or6+9$


Therefore, the total number of paint cans is $15$.

The related subtraction equations framed are $15–9=6or15–6=9$.

Hence, Option A is correct, and the equations are $9+6=15and15–6=9$.
