Abigail has 16 shoes use repeated subtraction to show how many pairs of shoes abigail has

Hello!

Here is how we solve this question.

We know that 2 shoes = 1 pair

So we subtract 2 from 16 until we reach 0, and count how many times we subtracted.

16-2=14

14-2=12

12-2=10

10-2=8

8-2=6

6-2=4

4-2=2

2-2=0

After we do repeated subtraction we find that Abigail has 8 pairs of shoes!

Hope this helps you with your question.
