Lucy makes 37 get well cards and some thank you cards. She makes 60 cards in all. How many thank you cards does Lucy make?
60 - 37 = ?
23 thank you cards because 60-37=23 and I checked by using inverse operation 23+37=60
To find out how many thank you cards Lucy makes, you can subtract the number of get well cards she made from the total number of cards she made.
Total number of cards = Get well cards + Thank you cards
60 = 37 + Thank you cards
To determine the number of thank you cards, subtract 37 from both sides of the equation:
Thank you cards = 60 - 37
Thank you cards = 23
Therefore, Lucy makes 23 thank you cards.
To find the number of thank you cards Lucy makes, we can subtract the number of get well cards she made from the total number of cards she made.
We know that Lucy made 37 get well cards and the total number of cards she made is 60.
Let's set up an equation to represent this:
Total number of cards = Number of get well cards + Number of thank you cards
60 = 37 + Number of thank you cards
To find the value of the number of thank you cards, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.
Number of thank you cards = Total number of cards - Number of get well cards
Number of thank you cards = 60 - 37
Number of thank you cards = 23
Therefore, Lucy made 23 thank you cards.
