Answer 1

Answer: an Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) that knows how to add numbers

Explanation:

The CPU can process those instructions easily, thanks to a control unit that knows how to interpret program instructions and an Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) that knows how to add numbers. With the control unit and ALU combined, the CPU can process much more complex programs than a simple calculator.
