Question

Which of these following options represents the given problem? 65 + 37 = 102

• A. 6 Tens + 3 Tens + 5 Ones + 7 Ones = 102
• B. 60 + 30 + 5 + 7 = 102
• C. 5 Tens + 7 Tens + 6 Ones + 9 Ones = 102
• D. All options are correct.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

60 + 30 + 5 + 7 = 102

Say: On our screen, we have an equation: 65 + 37 = 102.
Let us look at our options.

Steps:

• Option A has all the numbers written in their decomposed form. 65 can be written as: 65 = 60 + 5
• 37 can be written as: 37 = 30 + 7
• So, when we add them, we will group 60 and 30 together and 5 and 7 together, i.e., 60 + 30 + 5 + 7 = 102.
• This is correct. Option B has all the numbers written as Tens and Ones.
• 65 = 6 Tens + 5 Ones
• 7 = 3 Tens + 7 Ones
• So, when we will add them, we will group the Tens and the Ones, i.e., 6 Tens +
• Tens + 5 Ones + 7 Ones = 102.
• This is also correct. Thus, options A and B are correct.
