You only have two whole numbers. They add up to 11.
You have two numbers less than one.

Think of money.
8 dollars + 3 dollars + 90 cents + 31 cents.
the decimal places must be on the same line when adding.

To check if your addition is correct, let's add the numbers step by step:
1. Add the whole numbers: 8 + 3 = 11.
2. Add the decimals: 0.9 + 0.31 = 1.21.
Finally, add the sum of the whole numbers to the sum of the decimals: 11 + 1.21 = 12.21.
Therefore, the correct answer is 12.21, not 51. It seems there may have been an error in your calculation.
