Solution
The correct option is A 12 Number of pebbles Mr. Albie collects = 57
Number of pebbles left with Mr. Albie after Snowball takes away some = 45
Number of pebbles Snowball takes away = 57 − 45
We count backward by using the number line to find the answer.
Therefore, Snowball takes away 12 pebbles from Mr. Albie.
