Example Question #1 : Operations And Algebraic Thinking

Justin has  shelves in his room. Each shelf holds  toys. If Justin has  toys, how many toys don't fit on the shelves? 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we first need to find out how many of Justin's toys will fit on the shelves.
