Decimals To Fractions Practice Activities
Class 5 maths worksheets for changing decimals into fractions using place value, simplification, and mixed-number thinking.
Practice that builds confidence
From decimal places to denominators
These Class 5 maths worksheets help children practise converting decimals to fractions within the Fractions Decimals topic. Learners use place value to read tenths, hundredths, and thousandths, then write each decimal as an equivalent fraction.
The printable activities include direct conversions, simplify-the-fraction tasks, mixed decimal examples, and short application questions. Children build accuracy with numbers such as 0.6, 0.35, 1.2, and 2.075 while learning to reduce answers where possible.
Decimals to fractions is a place-value skill. A digit in the tenths place gives a denominator of 10, hundredths gives 100, and thousandths gives 1000. For example, 0.7 becomes 7/10, 0.42 becomes 42/100, and 0.125 becomes 125/1000. These worksheets keep the link visible so children do not treat the decimal point as just a symbol.
Progression through the practice
The activities begin with simple decimal numbers less than 1, then move to decimals that need simplification, such as 0.50 = 50/100 = 1/2. Later questions include numbers greater than 1, where children can write an improper fraction or a mixed number, such as 1.25 = 125/100 = 5/4 = 1 1/4. This gradual movement supports confidence before more flexible problem solving.
A practical parent routine
At home, ask your child to read the decimal aloud first: “zero point three five” should become “thirty-five hundredths”. Then write the fraction, simplify it, and check whether the answer still has the same value. A quick routine is: name the last place, write over 10/100/1000, divide numerator and denominator by the same number, and compare with the original decimal.
Classroom use for teachers
Teachers can use these printables during maths practice, revision, small-group support, or centres. They work well after a lesson on decimal place value or before comparing fractions and decimals. Pair work is useful: one child explains the denominator chosen, while the other checks simplification. Answers can also be sorted into “already simplest” and “can be reduced” groups.
Common errors to watch for
Children often write 0.4 as 4/100 instead of 4/10, ignore zeros in decimals such as 0.08, or forget to simplify 75/100 to 3/4. With mixed decimals, some may convert only the decimal part and lose the whole number. Encourage them to underline the last decimal place and say the fraction name aloud.

Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What do children learn in these decimals to fractions worksheets?
They learn to convert decimals into fractions using place value, such as writing 0.6 as 6/10 and 0.35 as 35/100, then simplifying where possible.
Are these worksheets suitable for Class 5 maths in India?
Yes. The language and skill level are designed for Class 5 Mathematics, especially the Fractions Decimals area where children connect decimal notation with equivalent fractions.
Do the worksheets include decimals greater than 1?
Yes. Practice may include mixed decimals such as 1.25 or 2.5, helping children write them as improper fractions or mixed numbers after conversion.
How can I help my child avoid choosing the wrong denominator?
Ask your child to identify the last decimal place first. If the last digit is in tenths, use 10; hundredths, use 100; thousandths, use 1000.
Should children simplify every fraction answer?
Children should check every answer for simplification. For example, 40/100 is correct as a conversion, but 2/5 is the simplest form.
