Solution
The correct option is B 8 Number of water bottles with Mr. Albie = 32
Number of water bottles Snowball takes away = 24
24 = 2 Tens and 4 Ones
Number of water bottles left with Mr. Albie = 32 − 24
We count backward by using the number line to find the answer.
Therefore, Mr. Albie is left with 8 water bottles.
