Solve Vertical Addition: 234 + 16 Step by Step

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

• Step 1: Write 234 and 16 vertically, aligning them by the rightmost digits:
• $\begin{aligned} &234 \\ +& \\ &~~16 \\ \end{aligned}$
• Step 2: Start adding from the rightmost column (units):
• Add $4$ (units of 234) and $6$ (units of 16):
• $4 + 6 = 10$
• Write down $0$ and carry over $1$ to the tens column.
• Step 3: Move to the tens column:
• Add $3$ (tens of 234), $1$ (tens of 16), and the carried over $1$:
• $3 + 1 + 1 = 5$
• Write down $5$.
• Step 4: Add the hundreds column:
• $2$ (hundreds of 234):
• Since there is no hundreds value in 16, it remains $2$.

Therefore, the sum of 234 and 16 is $250$.

Thus, the solution to the problem is $250$, which corresponds to choice 2.
