Frank has an apple tree in his backyard. 5 apples are hanging on the tree and 8 have fallen to the ground. If Frank's dog eats 3 of the apples off of the ground, how many apples are left?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
Frank originally had 5 + 8 = 13 apples. After his dog eats 3, there are 13 - 3 = 10 apples.
Thus, the answer is 10.
