Answer 1

well if there are 4 ants on the log, then 5 more crawl on. 4+5 is 9

answer: 9 ants

Answer 2

Now there are 9 ants.

Explanation:

There are 4 ants on a log.

Then 5 ants crawl onto the log.

We are given that already there are 4 ants on a log and 5 more ants crawl onto the log.

So to calculate the total ants on the log now, we will add both the numbers.

4 + 5 = 9 ants

Now there are 9 ants on the log.
