i bought 8 apples 5 oranges and 7 bananas. how many pieces of fruit are not bananas?
8 + 5 = 13
that's all there is to it
To find the number of pieces of fruit that are not bananas, you need to subtract the number of bananas from the total number of pieces of fruit.
In this case, you have 8 apples, 5 oranges, and 7 bananas. So the total number of pieces of fruit is 8 + 5 + 7 = 20.
Now, to find the number of pieces of fruit that are not bananas, subtract the number of bananas (7) from the total number of pieces of fruit (20):
20 - 7 = 13
Therefore, there are 13 pieces of fruit that are not bananas.
