Vegetable Basket Distribution Case Study
Farmer Kalu harvests 12 orange carrots and 6 red radishes from his organic garden beds. He puts them into a large jute sack.
Analytical Task: How many total vegetables did Farmer Kalu harvest? If he sells 5 carrots at the morning market, how many carrots remain?
Evaluation & Model Answer:
1. Total vegetables harvested = 12 + 6 = 18 vegetables.
2. Carrots remaining = 12 - 5 = 7 carrots left.
2. Carrots remaining = 12 - 5 = 7 carrots left.
Rubric: 1.5 M for 12 + 6 = 18 vegetables + 1.5 M for 12 - 5 = 7 carrots
