Answer:

              1 11      1  1
   0F4A → 0000 1111 0100 1010
   420B → 0100 0010 0000 1011
           0101 0001 0101 0101  → 0x5155

Additional Addition Practice

In the answer (above), the carry out of zero from the left column indicates that overflow did not happen.

Sometimes a hex addition problem is easy enough to do without converting to binary:

   014A
   4203 
   434D
  

It may be helpful to use your digits (fingers) in doing this: to add A+3 extend three fingers and count "A... B... C... D".
