1. nate and clara are drawing pictures with markers. there are 8 markers in a set. nate has 9 markers and clara has 7. what can nate and clara do so that each of them has a full set?

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the number of markers needed for a full - set

A full set has 8 markers. Nate has 9 markers (9>8), and Clara has 7 markers (7 < 8).

Step2: Determine the transfer of markers

Nate has 9 markers. If he gives 1 marker to Clara, Nate will have \(9 - 1=8\) markers (a full set), and Clara will have \(7+1 = 8\) markers (a full set).

Answer:

Nate can give 1 marker to Clara.
