Mixed Numbers To Decimals Practice Activities
Class 5 maths worksheets for converting mixed numbers into decimals using place value, equivalent fractions, and division.
Practice that builds confidence
What children learn
These Class 5 maths worksheets help children practise changing mixed numbers into decimals, a key skill in the Fractions Decimals chapter. Learners connect the whole number, the fractional part, and the decimal form so that values like 3 4/10 or 2 75/100 make sense on paper.
The printable activities include direct conversions, place-value based questions, fraction-to-decimal practice, and mixed review items. Children learn to read the mixed number carefully, convert only the fractional part, and then join it correctly with the whole number.
Mixed numbers to decimals practice builds a clear link between fractions and the base-ten number system. Children see that the whole number stays as the number before the decimal point, while the fraction part becomes tenths, hundredths, thousandths, or a decimal found by division. For example, 4 3/10 becomes 4.3 because the fraction is three tenths.
Skill progression in the worksheets
The activities move from familiar denominators such as 10 and 100 to questions where children may need to form an equivalent fraction or divide the numerator by the denominator. This progression helps them understand that 5 25/100, 5 1/4, and 5.25 can represent the same value. Learners also practise writing decimals with the correct number of digits, such as using 0 in 6.05 when the fraction is five hundredths.
A simple parent routine
At home, ask your child to split each mixed number into two parts: “What is the whole number?” and “What is the fraction?” Let them convert the fraction first, then say the final decimal aloud. Use a place-value chart with ones, tenths, and hundredths if the decimal looks confusing. After a few questions, ask them to explain one answer in words, not just write the result.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these printables for maths practice after introducing decimals, as a revision task before comparing decimal numbers, or as small-group support for children who confuse fractions and decimal notation. They also work well in centres: one group can solve, another can check using division, and a third can place the answers on a number line.
Common errors to watch for
Children often convert the denominator as if it were the decimal itself, writing 2 3/4 as 2.34 instead of 2.75. Some forget to keep the whole number, while others misplace zeros in hundredths. Encourage careful reading of the fraction bar, denominator, and place value before writing the decimal.

Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What does converting a mixed number to a decimal mean?
It means writing a number with a whole part and a fraction part in decimal form. For example, 3 1/2 is written as 3.5.
Which method should my child use first?
Start with place value when the denominator is 10, 100, or 1000. For other fractions, children can make an equivalent fraction or divide the numerator by the denominator.
Why do children make mistakes with numbers like 4 3/4?
They may write 4.34 by placing the numerator and denominator after the decimal. Remind them that 3/4 must first be converted to 0.75, so the answer is 4.75.
Are these worksheets suitable for revision?
Yes. They are useful after children have learnt fractions and decimals, and they also support revision before topics such as comparing decimals or solving word problems.
How can I check answers without a calculator?
Use known fraction-decimal facts, equivalent fractions with denominators 10 or 100, or short division for the fractional part. Then add the whole number back.
