Problem number 5. 13 children are playing hide-and-seek. One of them is the seeker and the others hide.  After a while, 9 children have been found. How many children are still hiding?  If 13 children are playing hide-and-seek and one of them is the seeker, that means only 12 children are hiding.  So 12 children are hiding and 9 children are found. In order to get the answer, we are going to subtract 9 from 12.  12 minus 9 is 3, which means there are only 3 children hiding and that means our answer is A.

Video Summary

The problem involves 13 children playing hide-and-seek, with one designated as the seeker, leaving 12 to hide. When 9 children are found, the calculation to determine how many are still hiding is 12 (total hiding) minus 9 (found), resulting in 3 children still hiding. The answer is 3.
