Answer 1

Given:

A taxi company has 10 taxis.

On a certain day, only eight taxi drivers show up for work.

So, 8 taxis can be driven.

How many taxis can be used to pick up passengers?

So, the answer will be 8 taxis

on another day, 10 taxi drivers show up for work, but five taxis are in the repair shop.

So, the remaining taxis that can be driven = 10 - 5 = 5 taxis

So, the answer to part 2: 5 taxis
