Question

Princess Madeline scores 13 points in a game. Bob scores 5 points fewer than Princess Madeline. Which addition fact can be used to find out Bob's score? What is his score?

• A. 13 + 5 = 18, Bob scores 18 points
• B. 8 + 13 = 21, Bob scores 8 points
• C. 5 + 8 = 13, Bob scores 8 points
• D. 5 + 8 = 13, Bob scores 5 points

Answer 1

The correct option is C 5 + 8 = 13, Bob scores 8 points

$\text{Detailed step-by-step solution:}$
Number of points scored by Princess Madeline in the game = 13
Number of points scored by Bob = 5 fewer than Princess Madeline = 13 – 5
We know that 8 + 5 = 13
So, 13 – 5 = 8.


So, Bob scores 8 points in the game.
