Question

O 112/0
O 11
O 11/1/2
O 12

Answer 1

To find the total number of pears in the box, you need to add the number of pears Mary ate and the number of pears Carmie ate.

Mary ate 4 pears and Carmie ate 7½ pears.

4 + 7½ = 11½

So, the total number of pears in the box is 11 ½ pears.

The correct answer is: O 11/1/2.
