Example Question #41 : How To Add

Destiney borrowed $25 from Peter, $15 from Blair, and $9 from Scarlet. How much money did Destiney borrow in all?

Possible Answers:

$\$ 64$ $\displaystyle \$ 64$

$\$ 49$ $\displaystyle \$ 49$

$\$ 59$ $\displaystyle \$ 59$

$\$ 26$ $\displaystyle \$ 26$

$\$ 45$ $\displaystyle \$ 45$

Correct answer:

$\$ 49$ $\displaystyle \$ 49$

Explanation:

Since Destiney is gaining money over time (due to her borrowing money from other people), we should add the three numbers together to find out how much money Destiney borrowed in all!

$\$ 25 + \$ 15 + \$ 9 = \$ 49$ $\displaystyle \$ 25 + \$ 15 + \$ 9 = \$ 49$

Example Question #2 : Adding Multi Digit Decimals

$\displaystyle 33.4 + 22.7 =$

Possible Answers:

16.3 $\displaystyle 16.3$

56.1 $\displaystyle 56.1$

121.2 $\displaystyle 121.2$

10.7 $\displaystyle 10.7$

34.8 $\displaystyle 34.8$

Correct answer:

56.1 $\displaystyle 56.1$

Explanation:

Add the "whole" parts of the numbers: $\displaystyle 33 + 22 = 55$

Add the "decimal" parts of the numbers: $\displaystyle 0.4 + 0.7 = 1.1$

Add both parts together: $\displaystyle 55 + 1.1 = 56.1$

$\displaystyle 33.4 + 22.7 = 56.1$

Example Question #47 : How To Add

What is $\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4}$ $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4}$?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{3}{2}$ $\displaystyle \frac{3}{2}$

$\frac{2}{6}$ $\displaystyle \frac{2}{6}$

$\frac{3}{4}$ $\displaystyle \frac{3}{4}$

$\frac{2}{4}$ $\displaystyle \frac{2}{4}$

$\frac{1}{6}$ $\displaystyle \frac{1}{6}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{3}{4}$ $\displaystyle \frac{3}{4}$

Explanation:

To add fractions, first find a common denominator, which in this case is 4. To turn $\frac{1}{2}$ $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}$ into a fraction with 4 as a denominator, multiply the numerator and denominator by 2.

Then add $\frac{2}{4}$ $\displaystyle \frac{2}{4}$ and $\frac{1}{4}$ $\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}$ to get $\frac{3}{4}$ $\displaystyle \frac{3}{4}$.

$\$78$ $\displaystyle \$78$

$\$74$ $\displaystyle \$74$

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the total amount of money that Mr. Johnson spent on Christmas gifts, we need to add the individual price of each gift together.

$\$45 + \$18 + \$11 = \$74$ $\displaystyle \$45 + \$18 + \$11 = \$74$
