Kathy distributes jelly beans among her friends. Alia gets 42 fewer jelly beans than Kelly, who gets 33 jelly beans. How many jelly beans does Alia get?

sadie5:

does anyone know the answer

Lilliana890:

alia gets 9 jelly beans

supie:

This doesn't make any sense ø.ø do you mean \(4^2\) and \(3^3\)?

sadie5:

these are the answers that it could beA. 42 − 33 B. 33 + 42 C. 4 − 33 D. 33 − 42 E. 32 − 43

Lilliana890:

a 42-33=9

sadie5:

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?

Lilliana890:

a smaller number

sadie5:

idk

sadie5:

i think its E

supie:

`43` isn't even in the question why would you think that the answer is 43?

Lilliana890:

thats what im tryna sayyy

supie:

why would you think the answer is E *

sadie5:

bye

supie:

Lilliana890:
