Q. 30 children lined up to jump rope. 9 children joined them. 4 children left to get a drink of water. How many children were left in the line?
Initial Number Determination: Determine the initial number of children in the line.There are 30 children initially lined up to jump rope.
Additional Children Calculation: Calculate the number of children after more join.9 children joined the line, so we add them to the initial number.30 (initial children) + 9 (children who joined) = 39 children.
Children Leaving Calculation: Calculate the number of children after some leave to get a drink of water. 4 children left the line, so we subtract them from the current number. 39 (current number of children) −4 (children who left) =35 children.
