If michael had four oranges and timmy had 5 oranges and they combined them together how many oranges do they have in total

Hi,

Timmy and Michael would have 9 Oranges together.

My work: To easily achieve this problem all you have to do is take Michael’s amount of oranges; 4 and Timmy’s amount of oranges; 5 and add them together. (4 +5 =) When you do this you get your answer 9. (4 + 5 = 9)

I Hoped I Helped!

cross multiplying, we get :

⇒ (3) × (5) = (9) × (x)

⇒ 15 = 9x

he is going to fill two shelves and the third shelf will only have five video games
