Question

Emma has $9$ apples and $3$ bananas . If she puts them all together in a basket, how many fruits will she have in her basket ?

• A. $2$
• B. $6$
• C. $12$
• D. $22$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $12$

Aligning both the numbers according to Place value (from the right) :

For adding these two numbers we need to add the like terms of the digits together i.e. digits at ones place will be added together.
At ones place, $9+3=12$ ones
$12$ Ones = $10$ ones + $2$ ones.

$10$ ones = $1$ tens
Thus , we carry $1$ tens to tens place. $1+0+0=1$


So,Adding both,we get $12$ as the answer.

Also , looking at the number line, we get $12$ .
