Sandra read 5 books, deacon read 6 books and breanna read 7 books. one book was read by all three children, but every other book was different. how many different books did the children read?

The total amount of different books is 16.

Take away 1 from each, representing the same book they all read.

7 - 1 = 6 , 6 - 1 = 5 , 5 - 1 = 4

Add the three together.

6 + 5 + 4 = 15

Add that one book everyone read.

15 + 1 = 16 different books.

Hope I helped you out.

How many people are we starting with? i will answer it's just i need to divide 8 by the total amount of people to get how many tables
