Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total apples for question 1

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 same - number pickers for question 2

Look at the "Number" column. Michelle picked 4 apples and Jen picked 4 apples.
To find the total for these two, use \(4+4\).

Step3: Create and solve a new problem (example) for question 3

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

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
