To solve this problem, we will utilize the vertical addition method as follows:
First, write the numbers one below the other, aligning them by their respective place values:
Now, let's add the numbers column by column starting from the rightmost side (units place):
1. **Units Column**: . Write 3 in the units place.
2. **Tens Column**: . Write 1 in the tens place and carry over 1 to the hundreds place.
3. **Hundreds Column**: . Write 8 in the hundreds place.
4. **Thousands Column**: . Write 6 in the thousands place.
The sum is arranged as follows:
Therefore, the result of adding and is .
Checking against the choices provided, the correct answer is Choice 4: .
6813
\( \begin{aligned} &90 \\ +& \\ &~~9\\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned} \)
When adding digits gives a sum greater than 9, you write the ones digit in that column and carry the tens digit to the next column left. For example, means write 1 and carry 1.
We start from the units place (rightmost) because any carrying affects the column to the left. If we started left, we'd have to redo columns when we carry!
Your answer will be wrong! In this problem, forgetting to add the carried 1 in the hundreds column would give instead of , making your answer 6713 instead of 6813.
Try these methods: (1) Add the numbers horizontally and compare results, (2) Add from bottom to top instead of top to bottom, or (3) Use a calculator to verify your final answer.
No problem! Just align them by place value on the right side. The shorter number gets invisible zeros in the leftmost positions. For example, 52 + 1234 becomes 0052 + 1234.
