What is easiest way to solve the following: 10+40?

First, we notice a similarity between the numbers 1 and 4 and that is a 0 at the end of each integer. The identification of the number 0 solves half the problem! Let''s keep this number 0 in the back of our mind, for now. Now, lets look at the numbers 1 and 4. We have ten fingers for which to count these out individually. Think of when a person asks to give you '5'. They are asking for a high-five. Four fingers are already counted for plus one equals 5. If we put the number five in front of the number 0 as is shown in the original problem, we will have our solution! In this case, 10+40=50.
