For example, in the picture on the right, there are 3 + 2 apples—meaning three apples and two other apples—which is the same as five apples. Therefore, 3 + 2 = 5. Besides counts of fruit, addition can also represent combining other physical and abstract quantities using different kinds of numbers: negative numbers, fractions, irrational numbers, vectors, and more. As a mathematical operation, addition follows several important patterns. It is commutative, meaning that order does not matter, and it is associative, meaning that when one adds more than two numbers, order in which addition is performed does not matter (see Summation). Repeated addition of 1 is the same as counting; addition of 0 does not change a number. Addition also obeys predictable rules concerning related operations such as subtraction and multiplication. All of these rules can be proven, starting with the addition of natural numbers and generalizing up through the real numbers and beyond. General binary operations that continue these patterns are studied in abstract algebra. Performing addition is one of the simplest numerical tasks. Addition of very small numbers is accessible to toddlers; the most basic task, 1 + 1, can be performed by infants as young as five months and even some animals. In primary education, children learn to add numbers in the decimal system, starting with single digits and progressively tackling more difficult problems. Mechanical aids range from the ancient abacus to the modern computer, where research on the most efficient implementations of addition continues to this day. From Wikipedia under the

(is it costs or exspense) Answered by mrswearing - Sat Aug 1 20:10:02 2009 How much could my home addition cost? Q. We want to put an addition on our home - adding another story - we want to do much of the work ourselves but are curious how much we could be looking at for a basic 2nd story with no interior walls. We would probably want an area plumbed for a new bathroom in the new space, too. We can do interior walls, bathroom fixtures, flooring and most of the electrical ourselves. We would also need to run the forced air for our heater, and air conditioning, up to this new space. I'm looking for very rough numbers just so I have some idea of what we are looking out - $50,000 or $100,000 ? I really have no clue when it comes to construction costs. Is there a "typical" cost per square foot? We are in the Pittsburgh area if that makes a difference. [cont.] Asked by Mary R - Wed Nov 8 13:40:16 2006 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Now days you could be looking at around 125 to 200 per sq. ft. this would be roughly of course. Your talking about another bathroom too. Of course you've got heating and wiring. I don't know what you both can do but it would help greatly to do a lot of the work yourself if able and according to the code in your area. I've helped people saving money by doing the wiring, plumbing and giving them tips on building. I think I spent much time running back and forth with tips and know how but, it's rewarding if I'm not too busy.

Q. Would you recommend the addition of lime to the tailings discharge? Give a simple explanation why and what other issues you might consider. Asked by phunky - Wed Mar 25 03:50:55 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. mine tailings are often acidic due to the conversion of sulfides to sulfate making sulfuric acid. Lime (Calcium Oxide) when added to a water discharge quickly forms a hydroxide which can neutralize the acid and stabilize the pH.
