Solution
The correct option is B 35 Number of drawing sheets with Mr. Albie = 60
Number of drawing sheets left with Mr. Albie after Snowball takes away some = 25
25 = 2 Tens and 5 Ones
Number of drawing sheets Snowball takes away = 60 − 25
We count backward by using the number line to find the answer.
Therefore, Snowball takes away 35 drawing sheets from Mr. Albie.
