Decimals: Tenths, Hundredths and Beyond
Year 4 • Ages 8–9 • Beginner
Instructions: Work through each activity in order. Use the place-value chart and examples to help you, and write one answer in each box. For money, remember that £1 = 100p.
Fractions as Decimals
Write each fraction as a decimal. For tenths and hundredths, think about how many parts make one whole. Use the examples 1/10 = 0.1 and 1/100 = 0.01 to help you.
1. 3/10 =
2. 7/100 =
3. 1/4 =
4. 1/2 =
5. 3/4 =
Divide by 10 and 100
Divide each number as shown. When dividing by 10, each digit moves one place to the right in the place-value chart; when dividing by 100, it moves two places. Use the chart to name the ones, tenths and hundredths in the final question.
1. 6 ÷ 10 =
2. 34 ÷ 10 =
3. 8 ÷ 100 =
4. 57 ÷ 100 =
5. In 4.26, how many ones, tenths and hundredths are there?
Round to the Nearest Whole Number
Round each decimal with one decimal place to the nearest whole number. If the tenths digit is 5 or more, round up; if it is less than 5, round down. For example, 3.6 rounds to 4.
1. 2.3 rounds to
2. 5.8 rounds to
3. 7.5 rounds to
4. 9.1 rounds to
5. 0.6 rounds to
Compare Decimal Numbers
Write >, < or = in each box to make the comparison true. Compare the ones digits first, then the tenths and hundredths. You can add a zero at the end of a decimal if that helps.
1. 0.7 0.5
2. 1.24 1.42
3. 2.30 2.3
4. 0.68 0.7
5. 3.05 3.50
Decimals in Money and Measures
Solve each short problem and write the answer in the box. For money, use pounds and pence; for measures, include the unit in your answer. Take one step at a time and check that your answer makes sense.
1. A pencil costs £0.35 and a rubber costs £0.20. How much do they cost altogether?
2. A drink costs £1.50. Sam pays with £2.00. How much change should he get?
3. A ribbon is 1.2 m long. Another ribbon is 0.5 m long. What is their total length?
4. A bottle contains 1.5 litres of water. Mia pours out 0.4 litres. How much water remains?
5. A bag of apples weighs 0.8 kg. A bag of pears weighs 0.6 kg. What is their combined mass?
Activity 1: 0.3 ; 0.07 ; 0.25 ; 0.5 ; 0.75
Activity 2: 0.6 ; 3.4 ; 0.08 ; 0.57 ; 4 ones, 2 tenths, 6 hundredths
Activity 3: 2 ; 6 ; 8 ; 9 ; 1
Activity 4: > ; < ; = ; < ; <
Activity 5: £0.55 ; £0.50 ; 1.7 m ; 1.1 litres ; 1.4 kg
