i would say E
Lilliana890:
i don't think so its asking u how many beans did alia get and she got 42 fewer than kathy
sadie5:
idk
Lilliana890:
and we don't have 43 in the whole equation
supie:
It says Alia gets 42 fewer than kelly, who was 33
so that means Alia has 42 fewer jelly beans than kelly
what does the word `fewer` tell you?
