Q: Baseball season opened up with the Chicago Cubs at home at Wrigley Field. They scored 2 home runs in the third inning, 1 home run in the fifth inning and 2 more home runs in the eighth inning. Their opponents, the Cardinals, scored 1 home run in the second inning and 1 home run in the fifth inning. How many more home runs did the Chicago Cubs score than the Cardinals in the game?
A: The Chicago Cubs scored 2 home runs in the third inning, 1 home run in the fifth inning, and 2 home runs in the eighth for a combined total of 2 + 1 + 2 = 5 home runs for the game. The Cardinals scored 1 home run in the second inning and 1 home run in the fifth inning for a combined total of 1 + 1 = 2 home runs for the game. If the Chicago Cubs scored a total of 5 home runs in the game and the Cardinals scored a total of 2 home runs in the games then 5 - 2 = 3 more home runs were scored by the Chicago Cubs than the Cardinals in the game. The answer is 3.
