(1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1)
Is It 15 Or 69?

I understand your confusion, and suggest that you focus on how the two problems are grouped.
In mathematics, it's customary to group added terms together using parentheses. Therefore, the first sum is merely 6.
On to the next problem: With nine 1's being added, the sum is 9.
Never would you string these together to form a two-digit answer.
However, as the first Answerer suggests, perhaps your problem was a single multiplication problem. In that case (and assuming the problem was written all on one line), you would work it out as he/she did:
(6)(9) = 6 * 9 = 54
Hope this helps!

(1+1+1+1+1+1)=6 (1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1)=9
I think it's 15 since 6+9=15 or 6*9 = 54 (which isn't in this problem).
Final answer: 15.
