Vertical Addition

How do we solve vertical addition?
1) Write the numbers vertically one under the other in an organized way.
2) Mark + on the left side and draw a line to separate between the exercise and the results line.
3) Add the ones digit of the first number together with the ones digit of the second number and so on.
If we obtain a two-digit number - write the ones in the result and carry the 11 to the next digit above.

Exercise #1

amp;12+amp;amp;  2amp;776amp; \begin{aligned} &12 \\ +& \\ &~~2 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we will follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Align the numbers vertically by place value. We have:
    12+02 \begin{array}{c} 12 \\ + \\ \phantom{0}2 \\ \hline \end{array}

  • Step 2: Start from the rightmost digits in the units column. Add 22 (from the bottom number) to 22 (from the top number).
    x2+2=4\phantom{x}2 + 2 = 4

  • Step 3: Now, move to the next column. We have 11 in the tens column only from the top number, so it's 1+0=11 + 0 = 1.

  • Step 4: Combine the sums from each column starting from the left to form the final answer: 1414.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 1414, which corresponds to choice 4.

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

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

  • Step 1: Align the numbers 4444 and 44 such that digits of the same place value (units) are below one another.
  • Step 2: Add the digits in the units column. This means summing 44 and 44 to get 88.
  • Step 3: Check for carry over, if any, and add digits in the next column (tens column). In this case, there's no carry over needed, so just add the digit 44 from 4444 with the implied 00 from 44 (tens place) to get 44.
  • Step 4: Combine the results. The tens place gives 44 and the units place gives 88, forming the number 4848.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: Vertical alignment:
44+04\begin{array}{c} 44 \\ + 04 \\ \hline \end{array}
Step 2: Units column 4+4=84 + 4 = 8 (no carry over).
Step 3: Tens column 4+0=44 + 0 = 4.
Step 4: Combining the tens and units results: the number is 4848.

Therefore, the sum of 4444 and 44 is 4848. The correct choice from the provided options is choice 33.

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

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

  • Step 1: Align the numbers 7474 and 66 vertically.
  • Step 2: Begin by adding the digits in the ones place.
  • Step 3: Move to the tens place and include any carryover.

Let's work through each step:


Step 1: Write the numbers vertically, aligning by place value:
amp;74+amp;amp; 6amp;   \begin{aligned} &74 \\ +& \\ &~6 \\ \hline \\ &~~ \\ \end{aligned}

Step 2: Add the ones place. The digit in the ones place of 74 is 4, and for 6 is 6. Add them together:
4+6=104 + 6 = 10.

Since the result is 10, write down 0 in the ones place and carry over 1 to the tens place.

Step 3: Now, move to the tens place. Add the tens digit from 74, which is 7, and add the 1 carried over from the previous step:
7+1=87 + 1 = 8.

This results in:
amp;74+amp;amp; 6amp;80 \begin{aligned} &74 \\ +& \\ &~6 \\ \hline \\ &80 \\ \end{aligned}

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 8080.

Exercise #15

amp;45+amp;amp;  5amp;776amp; \begin{aligned} &45 \\ +& \\ &~~5 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

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

  • Step 1: Add the ones place digits.
  • Step 2: If needed, adjust by carrying over any excess to the tens place.
  • Step 3: Add the tens place digits.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: We start by adding the digits in the ones place: 5+5=105 + 5 = 10. Since 1010 is greater than 99, we write down 00 in the ones place and carry over 11 to the tens place.
Step 2: Then, add the tens place digits. The tens digit of 45 is 4, and we add the carried over 1: 4+1=54 + 1 = 5.
Step 3: Therefore, after adding, the complete sum is 5050.

Thus, the solution to the problem is 50 50 , which corresponds to choice 4.
