A father sought help online after his son's math homework stumped him. The problem asked how many bottles Kayla would have left after distributing bubbles to friends, providing answer choices that perplexed many, including the dad. He believed none were correct, expecting a different equation. Discussing the problem on Reddit, others speculated that there might be a typo or misprint in the options. Many users agreed that the teacher's indication of 'A' as the correct answer made no sense, critiquing the logic behind the math presented.
This particular question was in my son's math homework from the other day... apparently the answer was A.
I think it's more likely a typo or misprint. If they swapped the subtraction and multiplication sign and moved the parentheses on answer choice C, then: (18 x 2) - 6 could become 18 - (2 x 6).
You're correct, the teacher is wrong. If you simplify A, you get 1.5, which doesn't make any sense in the context of the problem.
Some tried to make it work, but struggled. Really twisting my brain here to make sense of A being correct.
