Mixed Numbers To Decimals 10 100 1000 Practice Activities
Grade 5 worksheets for converting mixed numbers with tenths, hundredths, and thousandths into decimal form.
Practice that builds confidence
Understanding mixed numbers as decimals
These Grade 5 math worksheets help students convert mixed numbers to decimals when the fractional part has a denominator of 10, 100, or 1000. Children practise seeing the whole number and the fractional part as one decimal number.
The printable activities include direct conversions, place-value practice, and problems that build confidence with tenths, hundredths, and thousandths. Students write answers such as 4 7/10 = 4.7, 2 35/100 = 2.35, and 6 125/1000 = 6.125.
A mixed number combines a whole number with a fraction. In this skill, the fraction always uses 10, 100, or 1000 as the denominator, so students can connect it directly to decimal place value. For example, 5 8/10 becomes 5.8 because 8/10 means 8 tenths. Similarly, 3 42/100 becomes 3.42, and 9 406/1000 becomes 9.406.
How the practice progresses
The worksheets begin with familiar tenths, then move into hundredths and thousandths where zeros become more important. Students learn that 7/100 is 0.07, not 0.7, and that 7/1000 is 0.007. This progression helps them read, write, and compare decimal numbers with greater accuracy.
A simple parent routine
At home, ask your child to read each mixed number aloud first: “two and thirty-five hundredths.” Then have them write the whole number, place the decimal point, and fit the numerator into the correct number of decimal places. Use quick oral examples like 1 6/10, 1 6/100, and 1 6/1000 to show how the same numerator changes value depending on the denominator.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these pages for independent practice after a place-value lesson, small-group reteaching, math centers, or a quick review before adding and subtracting decimals. The sheets also work well with place-value charts labeled ones, tenths, hundredths, and thousandths so students can justify each digit they write.
Common errors to watch for
Many students drop needed zeros or place the numerator digits in the wrong columns. A child may write 4 9/100 as 4.9 instead of 4.09, or 8 52/1000 as 8.52 instead of 8.052. Remind students that the denominator tells how many decimal places are needed: 10 needs one, 100 needs two, and 1000 needs three.

Why iBloom worksheets help
These iBloom worksheets focus narrowly on mixed numbers with denominators of 10, 100, and 1000, so Grade 5 students get repeated, purposeful practice without unrelated fraction skills interrupting the lesson. A child-friendly strategy is: say the place value, count the decimal places, then write the numerator to fill those places.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What skill do these Grade 5 worksheets practise?
They practise converting mixed numbers to decimals when the fractional part has a denominator of 10, 100, or 1000.
How should a student convert 6 27/100 to a decimal?
Keep the whole number 6, then write 27 hundredths as .27. The decimal is 6.27.
Why is 4 9/100 written as 4.09 instead of 4.9?
The denominator 100 means the fraction must fill two decimal places. Nine hundredths is 0.09, so the mixed number is 4.09.
Do these worksheets include thousandths?
Yes. Students practise decimals to the thousandths place, such as changing 2 135/1000 to 2.135.
What is a helpful strategy for children who forget zeros?
Have them count decimal places from the denominator: 10 has one place, 100 has two places, and 1000 has three places. Then they can add zeros before the numerator if needed.
Is this mixed numbers to decimals worksheets grade 5 free?
Yes. You can preview it for free and use the printable worksheet for home or classroom practice.
