Which term describes the result when two or more numbers are added together?

Volume
Quotient
Sum
Multiple

The correct answer is: Sum

The term that describes the result when two or more numbers are added together is "sum." In mathematics, when you perform the operation of addition, the answer you obtain is referred to as the sum. For example, if you add the numbers 3 and 5, the result is 8, which is the sum of those numbers. Volume refers to the amount of three-dimensional space an object occupies, and it is not related to addition. Quotient is the result of the division of one number by another, which also does not apply here. A multiple involves the results of multiplying a number by an integer, so it is not applicable in the context of addition. Therefore, "sum" is the correct term for the result of adding two or more numbers together.
