Why: To find the total number of plants in Emilio's collection, we need to add the number of each type of plant together. We have 248 live oaks, 156 mesquite trees, and 312 prickly pear cacti. Adding these together: 248 + 156 + 312 = 716. Therefore, the correct answer is 716.
Victoria has collected 1,245 seashells from Galveston Bay. Her friend Ricardo has 1,387 seashells. Which expression best represents the total number of seashells they have together?
- 1,245 + 1,387 ✓

- 1,387 - 1,245
- 1,245 * 1,387

Daniel is raising funds for his school by selling lemonade. He sold 145 cups on Monday, 238 cups on Tuesday, and 187 cups on Wednesday. How many cups of lemonade did Daniel sell in total over these three days?
- 570 ✓
- 580
- 600
- 630
Why: To find the total number of cups sold, add the cups sold each day: 145 + 238 + 187. First, add 145 and 238 to get 383. Then, add 187 to 383, which equals 570. Therefore, Daniel sold a total of 570 cups of lemonade.
Malik visited San Antonio River Walk and took a picture with his friends. The number of friends with him was 82. After they took the picture, 37 more friends joined them. How many friends were with Malik in total? Which number best represents that total?
