Question: Caleb and his dad went fishing at the lake. Caleb caught 2 trouts and his dad caught three times as much as Caleb. How many more trouts did his dad catch compared to Caleb? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
Caleb’s dad caught 2 x 3 = 6 trouts. His dad caught 6 - 2 = 4 more trouts than Caleb. So the answer is 4.
