Equation #9

7 comments:

  1. 10 apples are sitting on a table, they are sad, this is because when they were originally bought, there were x apples, all of them were friends, then the human took half away for a fruit salad, then another seven was taken away for an apple pie. The apples are depressed. There are only 10 of them left. They wish they had more new friends. How many apples were there originally before they got eaten?

    It was confusing. Even though we read it three or four times. I think you can take some words that you don't need out.

  3. I think it should be y apples because the variable is "y". I don't think that there should be "There are only 10 of them left." because you already said there are 10 apples in the desk. Still i think this word problem is good. It tells the question well

  5. We think it fits with equation but, we don’t get what they are trying to explain. No, we wouldn’t write the equation they were explaining after reading this.

    It was confusing. There were too many words that they didn’t need.
    ex) all of them were friends,

    No, there weren’t any grammatical mistakes.

    The story was creative, but we want you to take out words that you don’t need.

    It’s creative and they made the apples sound alive.

    Ten apples are sitting on a table. They are sad, this is because when they were originally bought, there were y apples. Then the human took half of them away for a fruit salad, then another seven was taken away for an apple pie. So there are only 10 of them left now. How many apples were there originally before some of them disappeared?
