Addition Problem: Calculate 65 + 27 Blocks Total

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

• Step 1: Align the numbers vertically by place value.

• Step 2: Add the ones place digits and handle any carrying over if necessary.

• Step 3: Add the tens place digits, including any carried over value.

Let's work through each step:
Step 1: Write the numbers 65 and 27 one below the other:

$\begin{aligned} & 65 \\ + & 27 \\ \end{aligned}$

Step 2: Starting with the ones place, add 5 and 7 to get 12. Write down 2 and carry over 1 to the tens place.
Step 3: In the tens place, add 6 and 2, plus the carried over 1, giving a total of 9.

The calculation results in:

$\begin{aligned} & 65 \\ + & 27 \\ &\over92 \\ \end{aligned}$

Therefore, the total number of blocks is $92$.
