Without a calculator, add the folowing numbers together:80536 + 4596 =
Correct Answer
85132Explanation
To add these numbers together, start by adding the ones column, which gives us 6. Then move to the tens column, which gives us 9+9=18. Write down the 8 and carry over the 1 to the hundreds column.

Without a calculator, add the folowing numbers together:109284 + 35673 =
Correct Answer
144957Explanation
The given question asks to add two numbers together, 109284 and 35673. Without using a calculator, we can manually add these two numbers. Adding the units place, we get 3 + 4 = 7. Adding the tens place, we get 8 + 7 = 15. Carry over the 1 to the hundreds place. Adding the hundreds place, we get 2 + 6 + 1 = 9. Adding the thousands place, we get 0 + 3 = 3. Finally, adding the ten thousands place, we get 1 + 5 = 6. Therefore, the sum of 109284 and 35673 is 144957.Rate this question:

Without a calculator, add the folowing numbers together:9144957 + 85123 =
Correct Answer
9230080Explanation
To add the given numbers together, we can start by adding the digits in the ones place, which gives us 7 + 3 = 10. Since 10 is a two-digit number, we carry over the 1 to the tens place. Then, we add the digits in the tens place, which gives us 5 + 2 + 1 = 8. Finally, we add the digits in the hundreds, thousands, and ten thousands place, which are all 0. Therefore, the sum of 9144957 and 85123 is 9230080.Rate this question:
