Solve the Addition Problem: 22 + 38

To find the sum of $22$ and $38$, we'll perform the following steps:

• Step 1: Align the numbers vertically by place value:
  $\ \ \ 22$
  $+\, 38$
• Step 2: Add the digits in the ones place: $2 + 8 = 10$.
  Since the result $10$ is greater than $9$, we'll place $0$ in the ones place and carry $1$ to the tens place.
• Step 3: Add the digits in the tens place, including the carried over $1$: $2 + 3 + 1 = 6$.
  Place the $6$ in the tens place, making the sum $60$.

Therefore, the sum of $22$ and $38$ is $60$.

Among the provided answer choices, $\ 60$ is the correct answer.
