1. What is the sum of 456 and 278?
Solution
Correct: C
Add the ones: 6 + 8 = 14 (write 4, carry 1 ten). Add the tens: 5 + 7 + 1 carried = 13 (write 3, carry 1 hundred). Add the hundreds: 4 + 2 + 1 carried = 7. So 456 + 278 = 734.
2. Subtract 389 from 702.
Solution
Correct: A
We need to regroup. 702 − 389: ones column 2 < 9, so borrow 1 ten (0 tens becomes 9 tens and 2 becomes 12 ones). 12 − 9 = 3. Tens column 9 − 8 = 1. Hundreds column 6 − 3 = 3. Answer = 313.
3. Which number is 7 hundreds, 4 tens and 9 ones?
Solution
Correct: A
7 hundreds = 700, 4 tens = 40, 9 ones = 9. 700 + 40 + 9 = 749.
