Solve 0.6 + 0.6: Visual Decimal Addition with Number Blocks

Question

$0.6+0.6=$

00:04 Let's solve this together.

00:07 We'll use long addition to calculate the answer.

00:13 Next, we'll place the decimal point correctly.

00:17 We'll begin by adding the smallest digits first.

00:23 Don't forget to carry the one, by placing it above.

00:33 Add the one to your current calculation and write it down.

00:41 And there you go, that's the answer!

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

Step 1: Align the numbers by their decimal points.
Write $0.6$ directly under $0.6$ :

\begin{array}{c} 0.6 \\ +0.6 \end{array}

Step 2: Add the tenths places. $6 + 6 = 12$ . Write down $2$ in the tenths place and carry over $1$ to the units place.
Step 3: Add the units place with the carry-over. $0 + 0 + 1 = 1$ . Write down $1$ in the whole number place.

Thus, when we add $0.6$ and $0.6$ , we obtain:

1.2

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $1.2$ .
