Place Value and Decimals
Help prepare a stall for a community market. Read each decimal carefully, show your thinking where you can, and use dollars and metres where needed.
Read the digits
Use place value to decode the market’s labels.
1.A jar is labelled 3.275 kg. What is the value of the digit 7 in 3.275?
- 7 tenths
- 7 hundredths
- 7 thousandths
- 7 tens
$12.44
$5.142
$8.047
$6.804
2.Which price tag has 4 in the tenths place: $12.44, $5.142, $8.047, or $6.804?
- $12.44
- $5.142
- $8.047
- $6.804
3.Write 45.68 in words, making clear what the decimal part represents.
4.A sign says “23 and four tenths”. Write this amount as a decimal number.
Place decimals on the number line
Use the scale to compare the market’s measurement labels.
5.The number line runs from 4 to 5 in steps of 0.1. Put these measurements in order from least to greatest: 4.8, 4.08, 4.18, 4.81. Remember that 4.08 is just to the right of 4.
6.A fruit box weighs 2.36 kg. Is 2.36 closer to 2.3 or 2.4 on the number line? Explain using the digits after the decimal point.
Market maths
Use decimal place value to work out totals and changes.
7.A stall sells a notebook for $12.50 and a pen for $7.30. How much do they cost altogether?
8.A roll has 25.8 m of ribbon. The stall uses 9.4 m. How many metres of ribbon are left?
9.A customer pays $20 for goods costing $15.75 and $3.50. How much change should the customer receive?
10.Complete the statement: 6.4 is the same as 6.40 because adding a zero in the place does not change the value.
11.A sign writer needs to show 3.7 metres with two digits after the decimal point. Write the measurement, then explain why its value has not changed.
