Tim caught 6 ladybugs.
Ali caught 7 and Jon caught 5.
The children put some of their ladybugs in a big jar.
The jar then had 8 ladybugs.
How many ladybugs were not placed in the jar?
Add up the total ladybugs caught:
Total ladybugs caught = Tim's ladybugs + Ali's ladybugs + Jon's ladybugs
Total ladybugs caught = 6 + 7 + 5
Total ladybugs caught = 18
If the jar has 8 ladybugs, then the amount not in the jar is:
Amount of ladybugs not in the jar = Total ladybugs caught - Amount of ladybugs in the jar
Amount of ladybugs not in the jar = 18 - 8
Amount of ladybugs not in the jar = 10
