Question

edward has 18 apples and 16 oranges to share. he has 26 friends in his class. he wants to give each friend one fruit. how many fruits will he have left for himself? 60 34 8 2

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total fruits

Edward has 18 apples and 16 oranges. Total fruits = \(18 + 16 = 34\).

Step2: Subtract fruits given to friends

He has 26 friends, so fruits given = 26. Fruits left = \(34 - 26 = 8\)? Wait, no, wait: Wait, 18 + 16 is 34, 34 - 26 is 8? Wait, no, wait the options have 2. Wait, maybe I miscalculated. Wait 18 apples +16 oranges = 34 fruits. He gives 26 fruits (one to each friend). So 34 -26 = 8? But the options have 2. Wait, no, maybe the question is each friend one fruit, so total fruits he has is 18 +16 =34. Friends:26. So 34 -26 =8? But the options are 60,34,8,2. Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait 18 +16 is 34. 34 -26 is 8. So the answer should be 8? Wait the third option is 8. Wait, but let me check again. 18 apples +16 oranges = 34 fruits. He has 26 friends, so he gives 26 fruits. 34 -26 =8. So the correct option is the third one, 8. Wait, but the options are: first 60, second 34, third 8, fourth 2. So the answer is 8.

Answer:

C. 8 (assuming the options are labeled A:60, B:34, C:8, D:2)
