Question

Rachel has 7 bows. She gives 4 to her sister Emma. How many bows does Rachel have left?

• A. 3
• B. 4
• C. 6
• D. 11

Answer 1

The correct option is A 3

Let's visualise this on a number line.

Rachel gives her sister 4 bows from the 7 bows that she has.
To find the number of bows left with her, we need to jump 4 steps to the left of 7 on the number line.
We land at the number 3.

Thus, Rachel has 3 bows left.
