Comparing Numbers M& Ms Subtraction Worksheet - Free Printable

To solve the problem, we need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Count the total number of M&M's

First, count all the M&M's in the image and write the total number.

Step 2: Count each color of M&M's

Next, count the number of M&M's for each color:
- Brown
- Red
- Yellow
- Orange
- Blue
- Green

Step 3: Determine which color has the most M&M's

Compare the counts of each color to identify which one has the highest number.

Step 4: Calculate the differences between specific colors

- Find the difference between the number of Red M&M's and Yellow M&M's.
- Find the difference between the number of Blue M&M's and Green M&M's.
- Find the difference between the number of Brown M&M's and Orange M&M's.

Example Solution (Hypothetical Counts)

Let's assume the following counts for the M&M's (since the actual image is not provided):

- Total M&M's: 50
- Brown: 8
- Red: 12
- Yellow: 9
- Orange: 7
- Blue: 6
- Green: 8

#### Step-by-Step Calculations:

1. Total M&M's: 50
2. Counts by Color:
- Brown: 8
- Red: 12
- Yellow: 9
- Orange: 7
- Blue: 6
- Green: 8
3. Color with the Most M&M's: Red (12)
4. Difference Between Red and Yellow:
\[
\text{Red} - \text{Yellow} = 12 - 9 = 3
\]
5. Difference Between Blue and Green:
\[
\text{Green} - \text{Blue} = 8 - 6 = 2
\]
6. Difference Between Brown and Orange:
\[
\text{Brown} - \text{Orange} = 8 - 7 = 1
\]

Final Answer

Based on the hypothetical counts:
- Total M&M's: 50
- Brown: 8
- Red: 12
- Yellow: 9
- Orange: 7
- Blue: 6
- Green: 8
- Color with the most M&M's: Red
- Difference between Red and Yellow: 3
- Difference between Blue and Green: 2
- Difference between Brown and Orange: 1

If you provide the actual counts from the image, I can adjust the solution accordingly. For now, the final answer based on the hypothetical data is:

\boxed{
\begin{aligned}
&\text{Total M&M's: 50} \\
&\text{Brown: 8} \\
&\text{Red: 12} \\
&\text{Yellow: 9} \\
&\text{Orange: 7} \\
&\text{Blue: 6} \\
&\text{Green: 8} \\
&\text{Color with the most M&M's: Red} \\
&\text{Difference between Red and Yellow: 3} \\
&\text{Difference between Blue and Green: 2} \\
&\text{Difference between Brown and Orange: 1}
\end{aligned}
