Now let us do the addition using these grids.
Example:
Find the sum of \(0.22\) and \(0.67\).
 
Here, \(0.22\) can be written as 22100, similarly \(0.67\) can be written as 67100.
 
In the grid model first shade the region of \(0.22\) followed by \(0.67\). Here we denote the decimal in different to understand it clearly.

Therefore, the total shaded region is the sum of \(0.22\) and \(0.67\). That is \(0.22 + 0.67 = 0.89\).
