Explanation:

Step1: Count the number of each fruit

• Apples: 4
• Bananas: 5
• Pears: 3
• Watermelon: 1

Step2: Answer question 1

Count the number of bananas from the picture.
Bananas = 5

Step3: Answer question 2

Subtract the number of pears from the number of apples.
Apples - Pears = \(4 - 3=1\)

Step4: Answer question 3

Compare the numbers of each fruit. \(1<3<4<5\)
Watermelon has the fewest (1 piece)

Step5: Answer question 4

Compare the numbers of each fruit. \(1<3<4<5\)
Bananas have the most (5 pieces)

Step6: Answer question 5

If there are 3 more strawberries than apples, and apples = 4.
Strawberries = \(4 + 3=7\)

Step7: Answer question 6

Apples (counted by Lisa) = 4, Bananas (counted by Mike) = 5.
Since \(5>4\), Mike counted more.

Answer:

1. 5 bananas
2. 1 more apple
3. Watermelon
4. Bananas
5. 7 strawberries
6. Mike
