00:03 Each time we consider combining 2 digits, and then we'll write
00:06 Let's start by adding ones with ones
00:09 Write down the ones
00:12 Add tens with tens
00:15 Write down the tens in tens place, add 1 to hundreds
00:18 Write 0 in the missing digits
00:21 Add hundreds with hundreds, remember to add 1
00:25 Write down the hundreds in hundreds place, add 1 to thousands
00:28 Write 0 in the missing digits
00:31 Add thousands with thousands, and write in thousands
00:34 And this is the solution to the problem

Step-by-Step Solution

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

  • Step 1: Start with the units' column addition.
  • Step 2: Add the tens' column, accounting for any carryover from the units' column.
  • Step 3: Add the hundreds' column, accounting for any carryover from the tens' column.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: Add the units' place:
The units' place in 954 is 4, and in 72, it is 2. Add these together: 4+2=6 4 + 2 = 6 .
Place 6 in the units' position of our result.

Step 2: Add the tens' place:
The tens' place in 954 is 5, and in 72, it is 7. Add these together: 5+7=12 5 + 7 = 12 .
Since 12 is greater than 9, place 2 in the tens' position and carry over 1 to the hundreds' column.

Step 3: Add the hundreds' place:
The hundreds' place in 954 is 9. Add the carry over 1 from the tens' addition: 9+1=10 9 + 1 = 10 .
This gives us 0 in the hundreds' position, with another carry over 1 to the next column which becomes a thousand.
This forms 1 in the thousand's position of our result.

Therefore, the sum of 954 and 72 is 1026 1026 .

Among the provided choices, choice 4 corresponds to this solution.

Answer

1026
