Answer: PART A: Explain Jason's mistake. Instead of Jason multiplying the 5 boxes of granola bars by 12 granola bars in each box to get the total number of bars then subtract the 4 bars Arianna ate from the total number of bars in the 5 boxes.

Part B: 5boxes multiply by 12 granola bars equals to 60 granola bars. Subtract 4 granola bars from 60 granola bars equals to 56 granola bars left.

5x12= 60

60-4=56
