Section 1.3 Addition and Subtraction of Whole Numbers and Perimeter 13 The number line is a useful tool to visualize the operation of addition. To add 5 and 3 on a number line, begin at 5 and move 3 units to the right. The final location indicates the sum. 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 The sum is 8. You can use a number line to find the sum of any pair of digits. The sums for all possible pairs of one-digit numbers should be memorized (see Exercise 7). Memorizing these basic addition facts will make it easier for you to add larger numbers. To add whole numbers with several digits, line up the numbers vertically by place value. Then add the digits in the corresponding place positions. Answers 2. 4345 3. 72 Adding Whole Numbers Add digits in ones column. Add digits in tens column. Add digits in hundreds column. Example 1 Add. Solution: 261 28 289 261 28 Sometimes when adding numbers, the sum of the digits in a given place position is greater than 9. If this occurs, we must do what is called carrying or regrouping. Example 2 illustrates this process. Adding Whole Numbers with Carrying The sum of the digits in the ones place exceeds 9. But 13 ones is the same as 1 ten and 3 ones.We can carry 1 ten to the tens column while leaving the 3 ones in the ones column. Notice that we placed the carried digit above the tens column. Example 2 Add. Solution: 35 48 35 3 tens 5 ones 48 4 tens 8 ones 3 1 7 tens 13 ones 5 3 1 tens The sum is 83. ten 5 ones 48 4 tens 8 ones 83 8 tens 3 ones Skill Practice Add. 2. 4135 210 Skill Practice Add. 3. 43 29
