I need help with this question from my daughters 1st grade math class. I believe the answer should be 12 but the teacher says the answer should be 6. How is the answer 6? Mackenzie picks some apples.
She eats 3 apples.
Now she has 9 apples.
How many apples did Mackenzie pick to start?
A. 3 apples
B. 6 apples
C. 9 apples
D. 12 apples

Option D 12 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

S

She ate 3 apples and after that, she left with the 9 apples

They asked how many did Mackenzie pick.

SO its past tense

we have to add 3 apples that she just ate

so 9+3= 12 apples

I think your teacher is wrong because I think your teacher thought that she had 9 apples actually she has 9 apples after she just ate. So if it was before she has eaten the apples then it would be 6

Tell the teacher that she/he is wrong and give this explanation  

I hope this helps you and your teacher

man its nopq i just guessed and got it right so uhh
