Decimals to Thousandths Place

Help the team prepare a precision report for an Australian science fair. Read each decimal carefully: digits to the right of the decimal point show tenths, hundredths and thousandths. Show your working where useful.

Decode the measurements

A field team records lengths in metres to the nearest thousandth.

1.The probe measured 3.472 m. What is the value of the digit 7? Give your answer as a decimal and in words.
2.Write 0.608 in expanded form, using place-value parts.
3.Which statement correctly describes the 5 in 2.053?
  • 5 tenths
  • 5 hundredths
  • 5 thousandths
  • 5 ones

Compare and plot

Three prototype parts have lengths between 0.2 and 0.3 metres. Use the number line to help compare and locate these decimals.

4.On the number line above, plot 0.215, 0.250 and 0.295. Label each point.
0.20.210.220.230.240.250.260.270.280.290.3
5.The digital display reads 0.7 m. Is it shorter than, longer than or equal to 0.700 m? Explain using place value.

Check the science fair results

Use decimal place value to interpret and check the team’s data.

6.A sample has a mass of 1.738 kg. Round it to the nearest tenth, then to the nearest hundredth.
7.The team writes “forty-two thousandths” on a label. Which decimal belongs on the label?
  • 0.42
  • 0.042
  • 0.402
  • 4.2
8.Two toy cars travel a test track in 8.436 s and 8.463 s. Which car is faster, and what is the difference in their times?
9.A student claims 0.509 is greater than 0.59 because 509 is greater than 59. Explain the mistake and give the correct comparison.
10.Create a three-decimal-place measurement greater than 2.34 and less than 2.35. Then explain why it fits between them.
