Alright, let's solve this problem step by step. We have 109 and 940 and we're adding them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 0 in column 1 and get 9.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 4 in column 2 and get 4.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 1 & 9 in column 3 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 109 + 940 = 1049.
