Decimals Introduction Worksheet

Help Nikau and Tui check measurements and quantities on a dairy farm. Read each question carefully. Use decimal points in your answers.

Understand tenths

A decimal point separates whole numbers from parts of a whole. The first place after the decimal point is the tenths place.

1.The farm’s feed gauge shows 0.6 of a tank. What does the 6 represent?

6 ones
6 tenths
6 hundredths
6 tens

2.Write the decimal for 4 whole litres and 3 tenths of a litre of milk.

3.Write 0.8 as a fraction with a denominator of 10, then write it in words.

4.Which measurement is greater: 2.4 m or 2.7 m? Explain how you know by comparing the tenths.

Use decimals on the farm

Nikau records the weights of three feed sacks and Tui checks a water trough. Use the number line and clues to help.

5.Order the feed sack weights from lightest to heaviest: 1.8 kg, 1.2 kg, 1.5 kg.

6.The trough has 0.4 of its capacity left. How many tenths of the trough are still empty if the whole trough has 10 equal parts?

7.Tui records a milk temperature of 6.2°C. Identify the ones digit, the tenths digit, and the decimal point.

8.Hugo says 0.9 is smaller than 0.12 because 9 is smaller than 12. Is Hugo correct? Explain using place value.

9.A dairy worker measures 25 hundredths of a metre of hose. Write this length as a decimal in metres.

10.The farm shop sells a carton for $3.40. How many dollars and cents is this? Write the amount in words.

11.Create a decimal between 2.3 and 2.5, then explain why it belongs between them.
