Framing Word Problems

So far we have learnt how to solve word problems. Now, we will learn to frame
word problems.

Let’s frame three word problems for the addi on of 19 and 35, i.e., 19 + 35.

(a) There are 19 people on the ground floor of a building and 35 people on its

first floor. How many people are there in the building?

(b) Krutika has 19 marbles. Her friend Misha gives her 35 marbles more. How
many marbles does Krutika have now?

(c) Aman buys 17 toffees and 35 chocolates for his birthday. How many
sweets does he have?

Similarly, you can frame word problems for addi on of any given numbers.
