Math Challenge October 19



The Star-Spangled Banner was written long ago. When the song was written, the flag had 15 stripes and 15 stars. Today the American flag has 13 stripes and 50 stars. The 13 stripes are for the 13 American colonies. The 50 stars are for the 50 states. How many more stripes were on the old flag? How many more stars are on the new flag?
