There are 10 carrots in the basket.

Mama Hen is making soup and takes out 4 carrots.

Then the chick picks 5 new carrots in the garden and puts them in the basket.

How many carrots are in the basket now?

Answer and working

There are 11 carrots!

Because 10 minus 4 is 6, and 6 plus 5 is 11.

10 − 4 + 5 = 11
