Let’s solve each problem one by one, step by step.
---
Problem 1:
Anne had 64 marbles and Peter had 35. How many did they have in total?
→ We add Anne’s marbles and Peter’s marbles together:
64 + 35
Break it down:
60 + 30 = 90
4 + 5 = 9
90 + 9 =
99
✔ Total marbles = 99

Problem 2:
John’s farm has 82 pigs, 14 cows and 16 sheep. How many animals altogether?
→ Add all the animals:
82 + 14 + 16
First, add 82 + 14:
82 + 10 = 92
92 + 4 = 96
Now add 16 to 96:
96 + 10 = 106
106 + 6 =
112
✔ Total animals = 112

Problem 3:
Sally picked 52 flowers on Monday, 44 on Tuesday and 16 on Wednesday. How many flowers did she pick altogether?
→ Add them up:
52 + 44 + 16
First, 52 + 44:
50 + 40 = 90
2 + 4 = 6
90 + 6 = 96
Now add 16 to 96:
96 + 10 = 106
106 + 6 =
112
✔ Total flowers = 112

Problem 4:
Alex wanted to run 66km. He ran 22km, rested, then ran another 14km. How much further did he have to run?
→ First, find out how far he already ran:
22 + 14 = 36 km
→ Now subtract that from his goal:
66 - 36
66 - 30 = 36
36 - 6 =
30
✔ He still needs to run 30 km

Final Answer:
1. 99
2. 112
3. 112
4. 30
