Barbara was asked by her teacher to subtract 2 from a number and to divide the result
by 6. However, she subtracted 6 from that number and divided the result by 2 to get
37. If she had done it correctly, what answer would she have gotten?

Respuesta :

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the right answer, do her work in reverse

37 times 2 = 74

74 + 6 = 80

Barbara had started with the number 80

Now do the work the way the teacher asked her to do it

80 - 2 = 78

78 / 6 = 13

Hope this helps!
