Answer:

The required pair is 8.4 and 5.7

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that we need to find two different pairs of decimals whose sums are 14.1 and one pair should involve regrouping

Regrouping: Regrouping is know as borrowing or carrying numbers in order to add or subtract the provided numbers.

It is given that one pair should involve regrouping

Let us take the number are:

8.4 and 5.7

Now add them as shown:

8.4

+5.7

First start with the right most digits which is 4 and 7 add them 4+7=11, 11 is a two digit number, so bring 1 down and carry 1. Now 8+5 = 13 now add the digit 1 as we carry it, which gives us = 13 + 1 = 14

8.4

+5.7

14.1

Thus, the answer is 14.1

Hence, the required pair is 8.4 and 5.7
