Jonathon collected 𝟒 𝟏 kg of seashells. If he gives 𝟐 𝟑 kg of seashells to his friend, what is the weight of the 𝟐𝟒
remaining seashells that Jonathon has? Write one expression that represents this situation and evaluate it to find the answer.
The expression that represents this situation is 4.1 - 2.3. Evaluating this expression, the weight of the 24 remaining seashells that Jonathon has is 1.8 kg.
To find the weight of the remaining seashells that Jonathon has, we need to subtract the weight of the seashells he gave to his friend from the total weight of the seashells he collected.
The expression that represents this situation is:
Remaining weight = Total weight - Weight given to friend
Given values:
Total weight = 41 kg
Weight given to friend = 23 kg
Substituting these values into the expression:
Remaining weight = 41 kg - 23 kg
Evaluating the expression:
Remaining weight = 18 kg
Therefore, the weight of the remaining seashells that Jonathon has is 18 kg.
