To find out the total number of pears in the box, we need to add the quantities eaten by Mary and Carmie.
Mary ate 4 1/2 pears, which is equivalent to 4 + 1/2 = 4.5 pears.
Carmie ate 7 2/4 pears, which is equivalent to 7 + 2/4 = 7.5 pears.
Adding Mary's and Carmie's quantities, we have 4.5 + 7.5 = 12 pears.
Therefore, there were 12 pears in the box.
Mary ate 4 1/2 pears and Carmie ate 7 2/4 pears. If they finished all the pears in a box, how many pears were in the box?(1 point)

Fernando spent $20 of his $50 weekly allowance on snacks. What percent of his weekly allowance did he spend on snacks?
To find the percent of his weekly allowance that Fernando spent on snacks, we can divide the amount he spent on snacks by his total weekly allowance and then multiply by 100.
Fernando spent $20 on snacks and his total weekly allowance is $50.
To find the percentage, we calculate: (20/50) * 100 = 40%.
Therefore, Fernando spent 40% of his weekly allowance on snacks.

Kim made three quiches for a party: cheese, spinach, and mushroom. The cheese quiche was cut into 8 equal pieces, the spinach quiche was cut into 16 equal pieces, and the mushroom quiche was cut into 4 equal pieces. At the party, people ate 5 pieces of the cheese, 9 pieces of the spinach, and 2 pieces of the mushroom. Which quiche did people eat the most of? Identify the fractions in numerical order from greatest to least.(1 point)
To determine which quiche people ate the most of, we need to compare the number of pieces eaten for each quiche.
- Cheese quiche: 5 pieces eaten out of 8 total pieces.
- Spinach quiche: 9 pieces eaten out of 16 total pieces.
- Mushroom quiche: 2 pieces eaten out of 4 total pieces.
To find the fractions of each quiche eaten, we divide the number of pieces eaten by the total number of pieces for each quiche:
- Cheese quiche: 5/8 = 0.625
- Spinach quiche: 9/16 = 0.5625
- Mushroom quiche: 2/4 = 0.5
Arranging the fractions in numerical order from greatest to least, we have:
1. Cheese quiche: 5/8 = 0.625
2. Spinach quiche: 9/16 = 0.5625
3. Mushroom quiche: 2/4 = 0.5
Therefore, people ate the most pieces of the Cheese quiche.
- Cheese quiche: 5 pieces eaten out of 8 total pieces.
- Spinach quiche: 9 pieces eaten out of 16 total pieces.
- Mushroom quiche: 2 pieces eaten out of 4 total pieces.
To find the fractions of each quiche eaten, we divide the number of pieces eaten by the total number of pieces for each quiche:
- Cheese quiche: 5/8 = 0.625
- Spinach quiche: 9/16 = 0.5625
- Mushroom quiche: 2/4 = 0.5
Arranging the fractions in numerical order from greatest to least, we have:
1. Cheese quiche: 5/8 = 0.625
2. Spinach quiche: 9/16 = 0.5625
3. Mushroom quiche: 2/4 = 0.5
Therefore, people ate the most pieces of the Cheese quiche.
