To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:
Let's break this down:
Step 1: Write vertically:
Step 2: Add the ones place:
. Write down 1 and carry over 1 to the tens place.
Step 3: Add the tens place (including carry):
, plus the carry 1 makes 11. Write down 1 and carry over 1 to the hundreds place.
Step 4: Add the hundreds place (including carry):
, plus the carry 1 makes 13. Write down 13 as there are no more places to carry over.
Thus, the sum of 346 and 965 is .
Therefore, the solution to the problem is .
1311
\( \begin{aligned} &90 \\ +& \\ &~~9\\ &\underline{\phantom{776}} & \\ \end{aligned} \)
When adding digits gives you 10 or more, you write down the ones digit and 'carry' the tens digit to the next column. For example, 6 + 5 = 11 means write 1 and carry 1.
We start from the ones place because any carrying affects the next column to the left. If we started from the left, we'd have to go back and fix our work when we carry!
That's normal! In this problem, we carry from ones to tens and from tens to hundreds. Just handle one column at a time and don't forget your carried numbers.
Try adding in reverse order: 965 + 346. You should get the same answer (1311). You can also estimate: 300 + 900 ≈ 1200, so 1311 seems reasonable!
That's perfectly fine! When we carry from the hundreds place (3 + 9 + 1 = 13), we get a four-digit result. This happens when the sum is 1000 or greater.
