Let’s solve each problem one by one, step by step.
---
Problem 1:
Alex has 373 stamps.
Hogan has 150 more than Alex → So Hogan has 373 + 150 =
523 stamps.
Together: Alex (373) + Hogan (523) = 373 + 523.
Let’s add:
373
+523
= 896
✔ They have
896 stamps altogether.

Problem 2:
Farmer Sam has:
- 730 cows
- 456 goats
- 238 chickens
Add them all:
730 + 456 = 1186
1186 + 238 = ?
Break it down:
1186 + 200 = 1386
1386 + 38 = 1424
✔ He has
1,424 farm animals.

Problem 3:
There were 284 chocolate rolls.
Now there are 82 left.
So they ate: 284 - 82.
Subtract:
284
– 82
= 202
✔ They ate
202 chocolate rolls.

Problem 4:
Mrs. Willy bought 65 roses to share with her 5 friends.
That means she is sharing among 5 people (not including herself? The problem says “share with her 5 friends” — so likely 5 people total).
So divide 65 ÷ 5.
5 × 13 = 65 → So each gets 13.
✔ Each friend gets
13 roses.
*(Note: If Mrs. Willy was also getting some, it would be 6 people — but the problem says “share with her 5 friends”, which usually means the 5 friends get them. We’ll go with 5.)*
---
Problem 5:
One bottle has 500 ml.
Four bottles: 500 × 4 = 2000 ml.
We can also say 2000 ml = 2 liters, but since the question asks “how much milk is in 4 bottles?” and gives ml, we’ll keep it in ml.
✔ There are
2000 ml of milk in 4 bottles.

Final Answer:
1. 896
2. 1424
3. 202
4. 13
5. 2000
