Explain simply why 2 is the correct answer to: Blanch has 15 slices of pizza in the fridge. During breakfast, she eats 4 slices. At lunch, Blanch eats 2 slices, then takes two slices as a snack. Finally, she consumes 5 slices for dinner. How many slices of pizza are left?. Explanation:
During breakfast, Blanch has 15 - 4 = 11 slices left. At lunch, she still has 11 - 2 = 9 slices left. After the snack, there are still 9 - 2 = 7 slices left. Finally after dinner, Blanch has 7 - 5 = 2 slices left.
