Visualizing Adding Decimals
Use the given shaded decimal grids to answer the questions.

Note: One 10 by 10 grid is the unit. So one orange strip is one tenth or 0.1\displaystyle {0.1} and one yellow square is one hundredth or 0.01\displaystyle {0.01}.
Grid A
0.10.20.30.40.50.60.70.80.910.10.20.30.40.50.60.70.80.91 		Grid B
0.10.20.30.40.50.60.70.80.910.10.20.30.40.50.60.70.80.91
In Grid A,

a) There are orange strips shaded

b) There are yellow squares shaded.

c) Write the region shaded in Grid A as a decimal.   		In Grid B,

a) There are orange strips shaded

b) There are yellow squares shaded.

c) Write the region shaded in Grid B as a decimal.  
To sum the values represented in the grids, we will combine their values.

a) There are a total of orange strips in Grids A and B combined.

b) There are a total of yellow squares in Grids A and B combined.

c) Write the combined amount in Grids A and B as a decimal.  
Shade the combined amount from Grids A and B in the 10 by 10 grid below.

0.10.20.30.40.50.60.70.80.911/101/53/102/51/23/57/104/59/10
