Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total apples

Add the number of apples each person picked: \(6 + 4+3 + 4\).
First, \(6+4 = 10\), then \(10+3=13\), and \(13 + 4=17\).

Step2: Identify children with same apples

Look at the table. Michelle picked \(4\) apples and Jen picked \(4\) apples.
To find the total for these two, add their apples: \(4+4 = 8\).

Step3: Create and solve a problem

Problem: How many more apples did Mrs. Wise pick than George?
Subtract George's apples from Mrs. Wise's: \(6-3 = 3\).

Answer:

1. \(17\) apples
2. Michelle and Jen; \(8\) apples
3. (Example) Problem: How many more apples did Mrs. Wise pick than George? Answer: \(3\) apples
