Solve the Application.
Jacob threw 592 bread crumbs to the ducks at the duck pond and Martha
threw 629 bread crumbs. When they left, there were 171 bread crumbs left
on the ground. How many bread crumbs did the ducks eat?

1,050 bread crumbs

Step-by-step explanation: First lets add the bread crumbs Jacob and Martha threw in total.

592 + 629 = 1,221 total bread crumbs thrown to the ducks.

1,221 - 171 = 1,050 total bread crumbs eaten by the ducks.
