Decimals To Mixed Numbers Practice Activities

Class 4 maths worksheets for changing decimals into mixed numbers using whole-number parts, tenths, hundredths, and simple fraction notation.

Practice that builds confidence

What the skill means

These Class 4 maths worksheets help children convert decimals into mixed numbers by separating the whole number part from the decimal part. Learners practise reading tenths and hundredths, then writing them as fractions such as 3.4 = 3 4/10 and 5.25 = 5 25/100.

The printable activities include clear examples, place-value support, conversion drills, and short review questions. They build confidence with decimals in the Fractions To Decimals topic while keeping the focus on one skill: changing a decimal into a mixed number.

A mixed number shows a whole number together with a fraction. In this set, children learn that the digits before the decimal point become the whole number, while the digits after the decimal point become the fraction. For example, 7.8 is read as 7 and 8 tenths, so it is written as 7 8/10.

Building from place value

The worksheets move from simple tenths to hundredths so learners can connect decimal places with denominators. One digit after the decimal point means tenths; two digits mean hundredths. Children see that 4.09 is 4 9/100, not 4 9/10, because the 9 is in the hundredths place.

Parent practice routine

At home, ask your child to underline the whole number first, circle the decimal digits, and say the place value aloud. Then have them write the mixed number and check it by reading both forms: “2.35” and “2 and 35 hundredths.” Use small sets of 5–6 questions so accuracy stays more important than speed.

Classroom use for teachers

Teachers can use these printables after introducing decimal place value or while revising the Fractions To Decimals unit. They work well for independent practice, maths centres, quick exit checks, or small-group support for children who need more work connecting decimals with fraction notation.

Common mistakes to watch

Some children write every decimal part over 10, even when there are two decimal places. Others drop zeros, so 6.05 becomes 6 5/10 instead of 6 5/100. Also remind learners that decimals less than 1, such as 0.7, are written as fractions, not usually as mixed numbers because there is no whole number part.

Why iBloom worksheets help

The questions are sequenced so children notice patterns before handling trickier numbers. A child-friendly strategy is: “Whole number stays, decimal digits become the numerator, place value gives the denominator.” This simple routine helps learners convert carefully and explain their answers using correct maths vocabulary.

Helpful answers

Frequently asked questions

What do children practise in these decimals to mixed numbers worksheets?

They practise separating the whole number part from the decimal part and writing the decimal digits as a fraction using tenths or hundredths.

How do you convert 3.6 into a mixed number?

The 3 stays as the whole number. The 6 is in the tenths place, so 3.6 becomes 3 6/10.

Why is 5.25 written as 5 25/100?

Because there are two digits after the decimal point, the decimal part is in hundredths. So 0.25 is 25/100, making the mixed number 5 25/100.

Should Class 4 children simplify the fraction part?

These worksheets focus first on converting using place value. If your child has learnt equivalent fractions, they may also notice that 5 25/100 can be simplified to 5 1/4.

What mistake is most common when converting decimals to mixed numbers?

A common mistake is using the wrong denominator, such as writing 4.08 as 4 8/10 instead of 4 8/100. Reading the place value aloud helps prevent this.
