5.815 and 6.021 as the sum of two mixed numbers

Remember that 1/1=1 and 2/1=2

also remember tht 1.2=1+0.2 so

5.815+6.021

take 5.815

count down how many places the 5 goes

it goes to the thousanths place so

5.815=5815/1000=5 and 815/1000

take 6.021

count how many places the 1 goes

goes to thousanths so

6021/1000=6 and 21/1000

add

5 and 815/1000+6 and 21/1000 = (5+6) + (815/1000+21/1000) = 11+826/1000 or

11 and 826/1000
