A wildfire is burning many acres of forest. On Tuesday, the fire burned 1,200 acres and on Wednesday another 1,593 acres burned. How many acres have burned so far?

8,383 acres
-
2,962 acres

Correct Answer
A. 3,838 acresExplanation
The total number of acres burned can be calculated by adding the acres burned on each day. On Thursday, 973 acres burned, and on Friday, another 72 acres burned. Adding these two numbers together gives a total of 1,045 acres burned. However, the question states that the fire was contained on Saturday, so no additional acres burned on that day. Therefore, the total number of acres burned is 1,045 acres. However, this answer is not one of the options given, so the correct answer is not available.Rate this question:
