JOhn hs 2 apples, Many has 9 apples, how many apples are in total?

What do you think?

No.

Draw a picture to represent these apples.

ok i draw the picture. would it be 11?

Yes, 11.

To find the total number of apples, you need to add the number of apples John has and the number of apples Many has.

John has 2 apples, and Many has 9 apples.

So, to find the total number of apples, you can add 2 and 9:

2 + 9 = 11

Therefore, the total number of apples is 11.
