Roxanne was curious about how much syrup her brother put on his favorite food, pancakes. Before breakfast each day, Roxanne recorded how much syrup was in the bottle. After breakfast, she figured out how much syrup he had eaten by remeasuring the amount of syrup in the bottle. She recorded the results.
