you are adding 623 + 374 period explain how you would break them apart into a simpler problem to help you solve

1 answer

To break apart the numbers 623 and 374 into a simpler problem, you can separate them into their place values.

The first step is to break apart the hundreds, tens, and ones places separately:

623 = 600 + 20 + 3
374 = 300 + 70 + 4

Now, you can add the hundreds places together:

600 + 300 = 900

Then, add the tens places together:

20 + 70 = 90

Finally, add the ones places together:

3 + 4 = 7

Now you have simplified the problem to:
900 + 90 + 7

Adding those together:
900 + 90 + 7 = 997

Therefore, 623 + 374 = 997.
