Here we will show you step-by-step how to calculate 48 plus 54 (48 + 54) using the Long Addition Method. We start by setting up our math problem as follows:
| 4 | 8 | |||||||
| + | 5 | 4 | ||||||
The next step is to add the ones digits together (8 + 4 = 12). Since the sum creates 1 tens digit, we put the 1 in the tens column, and the 2 at the bottom of the ones:
| 1 | ||||||||
| 4 | 8 | |||||||
| + | 5 | 4 | ||||||
| 2 |
Then in our final step, we add the tens digits together (including the 1 from the previous step): 4 + 5 + 1 = 10 and put that sum at the bottom:
| 1 | ||||||||
| 4 | 8 | |||||||
| + | 5 | 4 | ||||||
| 1 | 0 | 2 |
And that is how you solve 48 plus 54 using the Long Addition Method! The answer is displayed mathematically below:
48 + 54 = 102
