Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Adding Decimals Worksheet 5th Grade
To solve the missing numbers in these decimal additions, we need to carefully align the decimal points and perform the addition or subtraction as required. Let's go through each problem step by step.

Problem 1:


\[
\begin{array}{r}
0.37 \\
+ 0.\_8 \\
\hline
0.1\_ \\
\end{array}
\]
- Align the decimals:
\[
\begin{array}{r}
0.37 \\
+ 0.x8 \\
\hline
0.1y \\
\end{array}
\]
- The sum of the tenths place is 3 + x = 1 (with a carryover). This means x must be 7 (since 3 + 7 = 10, and we carry over 1).
- The sum of the hundredths place is 7 + 8 = 15. We write down 5 and carry over 1.
- The sum of the units place is 0 + 0 + 1 (carryover) = 1.
- Therefore, the missing numbers are \( x = 7 \) and \( y = 5 \).

\[
\boxed{7, 5}
\]

Problem 2:


\[
\begin{array}{r}
9.3 \\
+ 1.\_8 \\
\hline
73.\_9 \\
\end{array}
\]
- Align the decimals:
\[
\begin{array}{r}
9.30 \\
+ 1.x8 \\
\hline
73.y9 \\
\end{array}
\]
- The sum of the hundredths place is 0 + 8 = 8.
- The sum of the tenths place is 3 + x = y (with a carryover). This means x must be 4 (since 3 + 4 = 7).
- The sum of the units place is 9 + 1 + 1 (carryover) = 11. We write down 1 and carry over 1.
- The sum of the tens place is 0 + 0 + 1 (carryover) = 1.
- Therefore, the missing numbers are \( x = 4 \) and \( y = 7 \).

\[
\boxed{4, 7}
\]

Problem 3:


\[
\begin{array}{r}
3.382 \\
+ 3.\_6 \\
\hline
7.\_9 \\
