Addition

An addition problem is when we add something to something.
When we see the sign ++ that let's us know that it's an addition problem.

Let's look at an example –

Daria has 33 blue balls

An image displaying three blue circles aligned horizontally, suggesting a visual representation of the number three.

Max has 22 orange balls

An image displaying two orange circles aligned horizontally, suggesting a visual representation of the number two.

How many balls do Daria and Max have together?

Let's count the balls -

A visual representation of five dots: three blue dots numbered 1, 2, and 3 on the top row, and two orange dots numbered 4 and 5 on the bottom row. This arrangement visually demonstrates counting or addition.

Together they have 55 balls in total.
The addition exercise is: 3+2=5 3+2=5

Examples with solutions for Addition

Exercise #1

Add ten units to the number 72.

What is the resulting number?

Step-by-Step Solution

To find the resulting number when ten units are added to 72, we will perform the following steps:

  • Step 1: Identify the starting number, which is 72.
  • Step 2: Add 10 to the starting number. This is done by calculating 72+10 72 + 10 .

Exercise #3

Add fifty units to the number 31.

What is the resulting number?

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll perform simple addition:
Step 1: Identify the numbers to be added, which are 31 and 50.
Step 2: Calculate the sum: 31+50 31 + 50 .

Exercise #6

What number do we get if we add 6 tens and 7 units to the number 12?

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Calculate the value of 6 tens.
  • Step 2: Calculate the value of 7 units.
  • Step 3: Add the values obtained in Steps 1 and 2.
  • Step 4: Add this result to the initial number.

Let's work through each step:

Step 1: Calculate the value of 6 tens.
Each "ten" represents 10 units, so 6 tens equals 6×10=60 6 \times 10 = 60 .

Step 2: Calculate the value of 7 units.
Each "unit" represents 1, so 7 units equal 7×1=7 7 \times 1 = 7 .

Step 3: Add the values from Steps 1 and 2.
The total value of tens and units is 60+7=67 60 + 7 = 67 .

Step 4: Add this result to the initial number, 12.
So, 12+67=79 12 + 67 = 79 .

Therefore, when we add 6 tens and 7 units to the number 12, we obtain 79 79 .

Answer

79 79

Exercise #7

We built the number 66 - what number will we get if we add one ten and one unit?

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we need to add one ten (10) and one unit (1) to the number 66.

We'll follow these steps to find the new number:

  • Step 1: Start with the original number, 66 66 .
  • Step 2: Add one ten. This means adding 10 10 to 66 66 .
    66+10=76 66 + 10 = 76 .
  • Step 3: Add one unit to the result from Step 2. This means adding 1 1 to 76 76 .
    76+1=77 76 + 1 = 77 .

Therefore, after adding one ten and one unit to 66, the resulting number is 77 77 .

Exercise #8

What number do we get if we add 3 tens and 4 units to the number 55?

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Add the 3 tens to the number 55.
  • Step 2: Add the 4 units to the result from Step 1.

Let's work through each step:

Step 1: We need to add three tens to 55. Three tens equal 3×10=303 \times 10 = 30.
Thus, adding 30 to 55 gives us:

55+30=8555 + 30 = 85

Step 2: Now, we add the 4 units to the result of Step 1 (which is 85).
Adding 4 gives us:

85+4=8985 + 4 = 89

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 89 89 .

Exercise #15

There are 47 horses in total in a field. Next to the field there are three paddocks, each with a capacity for 10 horses.

How many horses will remain in the field once each of the paddocks is filled?

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Calculate the total capacity of the paddocks.
  • Step 2: Subtract the total paddock capacity from the total number of horses.

Let's proceed with each step:

Step 1: Calculate the total capacity of the paddocks.
Each paddock can hold 10 horses. There are 3 paddocks, so the total capacity is:

3×10=30 3 \times 10 = 30

Step 2: Subtract the total paddock capacity from the total number of horses.
We start with 47 horses. Placing 30 horses in the paddocks leaves:

4730=17 47 - 30 = 17

Therefore, the number of horses that will remain in the field is 17 17 .

Answer

17 17
