No, that is incorrect. Think about it this way: $2.00 (two dollars) + $0.06 (six cents) A "quarter cent" must start at a decimal place FURTHER down than the whole cents. That is, the quarter comes AFTER where the six cents ends alone: $0.0025 $0.06 + $0.0025 = $0.0625 All together then: $2.0625 When you want to solve these, just write the dollars and cents WITHOUT any fractions (or circle the dollar with two decimal places following). For instance, you originally suggested $2.625. If you circled ONLY the dollars and two decimals, you would have circled this: $2.62. This is clearly two dollars and sixty-two cents. So the remaining 5 would be the fraction .5 or half of one cent. All together, your suggested amount was two dollars, sixty-two and a half cents. One more example, for clarity: If you wanted "five dollars, forty-eight and a third cents", you would start with just the dollars and cents: "five dollars, forty-eight .... cents". That is $5.48. Easy. Then you add after this the decimal for "one third", which is 0.33. All together: $5.4833. I hope that is more clear now!
