Here we will show you step-by-step how to calculate 1 plus 31 (1 + 31) using the Long Addition Method. We start by setting up our math problem as follows:
| 0 | 1 | |||||||
| + | 3 | 1 | ||||||
The next step is to add the ones digits together (1 + 1 = 2) like this:
| 0 | 1 | |||||||
| + | 3 | 1 | ||||||
| 2 |
Then in our final step, we add the tens digits together (0 + 3 = 3) like this:
| 0 | 1 | |||||||
| + | 3 | 1 | ||||||
| 3 | 2 |
And that is how you solve 1 plus 31 using the Long Addition Method! The answer is displayed mathematically below:
