Let's solve this step by step:
Problem:
A boy blows 18 bubbles. Then:
- He pops 7
- Eats 6
- Stomps 5
- Blows another 1
We need to find out how many bubbles are
left.
---
Step-by-step breakdown:
1.
Start with:
18 bubbles (blown initially)
2.
Pops 7:
18 - 7 = 11 bubbles left
3.
Eats 6:
But wait — can you *eat* a bubble? That’s funny, but in math riddles like this, we take it literally. If he eats 6 bubbles, that means 6 bubbles disappear.
So: 11 - 6 = 5 bubbles left
4.
Stomps 5:
Stomping destroys bubbles. So: 5 - 5 = 0 bubbles left
5.
Blows another 1:
Now he blows one more bubble: 0 + 1 =
1 bubble
---
Final Answer:
✔ 1 bubble is left.

💡
Note: This is a playful riddle, and the actions like "eats" and "stomps" are meant to be fun — but in math terms, they all reduce the number of bubbles. Only blowing increases them.
So, the answer is:
1 bubble is left.
