Let's solve this addition problem. We have 690 and 1248, and we need to add them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 8 in column 1 and get 8.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 4 in column 2 and get 13.
We'll write down the last digit 3 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 2 in column 3 and get 9.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 1 in column 4 and get 1.

So, 690 + 1248 = 1938.
