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)

Answer 1

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.
