Step-by-Step Solution

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

  • Step 1: Align the numbers by their decimal points.
  • Step 2: Add the numbers starting from the right-most column.
  • Step 3: Address any carry-over if it occurs.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: Write the numbers 10.610.6 and 4.54.5 one on top of the other, aligning their decimal points.
Step 2: Start adding from the right-most digit (tenths place in this case): 10.6+4.5 \begin{array}{c} 10.6 \\ + 4.5 \\ \hline \end{array}

Add the digits in the tenths column: 6+5=116 + 5 = 11. Write 11 in the tenths place and carry over 11 to the ones place.

Continue with the ones column: 0+4+10 + 4 + 1 (carry over) equals 55.

In the tens column, 1+01 + 0 equals 11.

Putting it all together, the sum is: 15.1 \begin{array}{c} 15.1 \\ \end{array}

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 15.1 15.1 .
