Grade 5 students tackle ordering decimals in this hard worksheet through real-world word problems involving race times, prices, and measurements. Multiple-choice questions test ascending and descending orderings of four decimals across mixed place values. Fill-in items extend the practice to writing greatest, least, and equal decimals. Annexing zeros remains the key Grade 5 strategy for safely sorting decimals to the thousandths place.
