You are adding 623+374. Explain how you can break the problem apart into simpler problems to help you solve
To break down the problem, we can separate the addition of hundreds, tens, and ones.
First, we can add the hundreds together:
600 + 300 = 900
Next, we add the tens:
20 + 70 = 90
Finally, we add the ones:
3 + 4 = 7
Now we have the separate sums:
Hundreds: 900
Tens: 90
Ones: 7
Putting it all together, the sum is 900 + 90 + 7 = 997.
