❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is basic addition?
Basic addition is combining two or more numbers to find their total; the plus sign (+) is used, and the result is called the sum (e.g., 7 + 5 = 12).
How do you add multi-digit numbers?
Align digits by place value (ones, tens, hundreds), add from right to left, and carry to the next column when a sum is 10 or more.
What is carrying in addition?
Carrying means that when a column sums to 10 or more, you write the ones digit here and move the tens to the next higher place value.
How do you add decimals or numbers with different decimal places?
Align the decimal points, pad with zeros to have the same number of decimal places, then add as normal and place the decimal in the correct position.
