Answer 1

Answer: the answer is 11.836 and they are different because you have to add the improper fraction's to get the answer.

Explanation:

First I added 5.815 and 6.021 which equals 11.836 then I made 5.815 into a mixed number which is 5 wholes and 815/1,000 and made 6.021 into a mixed number which is 6 wholes and 21/1,000 then added them which made it a improper fraction.

Answer 2

5.815 + 6.021 = 5 815/1000 + 6 21/1000 = 5 163/200 + 6 21/1000
