Tim caught 6 ladybugs, Ali caught 7, and Jon caught 5. The children put some of their ladybugs in a big jar. The jar then had 8 ladybugs. How many ladybugs were not placed in the jar?
Answer 10
First figure out how many ladybugs were caught. 6 + 7 + 5 = 18. Then subtract the total from the number of ladybugs in the jar. 18 - 8 = 10. 10 ladybugs.
