Question

You take a few hops and then 8 more hops to reach $20$ on the number line. Which of the following addition equations shows the correct number of hops that you take?

• A. $12+8=20$
• B. $10+10=20$
• C. $8+13=20$
• D. $8+11=20$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $12+8=20$

Detailed step-by-step solution:
As you take 8 hops after a few hops, the number of the first few hops should be 12. Because only 8 hops from 12 can help you reach number 20 on the number line. So, $12+8=20.$
