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 the total number of pears in the box, you simply need to add the number of pears Mary ate to the number Carmie ate. So:
Mary ate = 412 pears
Carmie ate = 724 pears
Total pears in the box = Mary ate + Carmie ate
Total pears in the box = 412 pears + 724 pears
Total pears in the box = 1136 pears
So there were 1,136 pears in the box.
