Yes, scalar quantities can be added, as long as they are the same dimension and you keep units straight. For example you cannot add cubic meters to square meters. But (especially in the imperial system) pounds and ounces, or feet and inches are added, and displayed in that fashion. Minutes and seconds is another.
No, scalar can be added together directly, whereas vectors can only add their separate components together.
To add scalar quantities, simply add the numerical values together. Scalars are quantities that only have a magnitude and no direction, such as mass or temperature. There is no need to consider any specific direction when adding scalar quantities.
Vectors can be added to other vectors in the same vector space. Scalars can be added to other scalars if they have the same units. Scalars cannot be added to vectors, nor vice versa, directly.
A pair of scalar quantities are two physical quantities that have only a magnitude or size with no direction. Examples include mass, temperature, and speed. Scalars can be added, subtracted, multiplied, and divided like regular numbers.
Scalar quantities in physics have magnitude but no direction. They can be added, subtracted, multiplied, and divided like regular numbers. Examples include mass, temperature, and speed.

Scalar quantities are physical quantities that are described by their magnitude only, with no direction, such as temperature or speed. Vector quantities are physical quantities that are described by both magnitude and direction, such as velocity or force. An example of how they are alike is that both scalar and vector quantities can be added or subtracted using mathematical operations. An example of how they are different is that vector quantities have direction associated with them, while scalar quantities do not.
No, a scalar quantity cannot be the product of two vector quantities. Scalar quantities have only magnitude, while vector quantities have both magnitude and direction. When two vectors are multiplied, the result is a vector, not a scalar.
Scalar quantities are added algebraically. But vector quantities are added using vector addition. If 3 and 4 are added only 7 is the result. If two vectors with magnitude 3 and 4 are added there will be different results such as 7, 1, 5, etc etc. 7 will be the answer if both the vectors are in the same direction. 1 will be the answer if both are in opposite direction 5 will be the answer if both act perpendicular to each other. Other innumerable answers are possible as both vectors act with different angles of inclination.
Scalar quantities - quantities that only include magnitude Vector quantities - quantities with both magnitude and direction
it has no direction
Scalar quantities are physical quantities that have only magnitude, such as mass, temperature, and time. Vector quantities have both magnitude and direction, such as velocity, displacement, and force. Scalars can be added algebraically, while vectors need to consider both magnitude and direction in addition to standard arithmetic operations.
