Which strategy would not correctly solve this story problem? ms. bailey's cat had 10 kittens. there were 5 white kittens, 3 black kittens, and the rest were brown. how many kittens were brown? a. translate into an equation. 5 + 3 + k = 10 b. use logical reasoning. there are 10 kittens. subtract 5 (the number of white kittens) and 3 (the number of black kittens). the remaining kittens are brown. c. draw a diagram. draw 10 kittens. cross out 5 of the kittens, then cross out 3 kittens. circle the remaining kittens. d. work backward. there are 10 kittens. add 5 for the number of white kittens and another 3 for the number of black kittens. the total is the number of brown kittens.
