Illustration of a scene where two women are casually sitting in a garden, each with a number of half-eaten pears around them. The woman on the left, presumably Mary, is surround by an astonishing 412 half-eaten pears, while the other woman on the right, Carmie, has an even larger pile of 724 half-eaten pears around her. The ground is littered with pear cores and seeds, and an empty wooden fruit box lies between them. The whole scene is shown from a bird's eye view to clearly depict the number of pears each woman has consumed.

Mary ate 412 pears and Carmie ate 724 pears. If they finished all the pears in a box, how many pears were in the box?(1 point)

To find out how many pears were in the box, we need to add together the number of pears that Mary and Carmie ate. Mary ate 412 pears, and Carmie ate 724 pears. So, to find the total number of pears, we can add these two numbers together: 412 + 724 = 1136. Therefore, there were 1136 pears in the box.

geez -- learn to type fractions, ok? 3/4, 2/3, etc.
