To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:
Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: Add the units column.
The units are (from ) and (from ).
. Write in the units place and carry over to the tens place.
Step 2: Add the tens column, including any carry from the units.
The tens are (from ) and (from ), plus the carried over.
. Write in the tens place and carry over to the hundreds place.
Step 3: Add the hundreds column, including any carry from the tens.
The hundreds are (from ) and (from ), plus the carried over.
. Write in the hundreds place and in the thousands place.
Therefore, the solution to the problem is .
1000
\( \begin{aligned} &12 \\ +& \\ &~~2 \\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned} \)
When adding a column gives you 10 or more, you write down the ones digit and carry the tens digit to the next column. For example, 5 + 5 = 10, so write 0 and carry the 1.
You start from the units place (rightmost) because any carrying affects the next column to the left. This ensures you handle all the carrying correctly as you move left.
Your final answer will be too small! For example, if you forgot to carry in this problem, you might get 900 instead of 1000. Always double-check each column for carries.
Try these methods:
When all columns produce carries, you create a new digit in the next place value. Like in this problem: 685 + 315 creates a new thousands place, making 1000!
