Converting Fractions and Decimals
Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
To convert 1/2 to a decimal in Grade 5 math, the answer is 0.2 because the denominator is 2.
Rewrite: To convert 1/2 to a decimal in Grade 5 math, the answer is 0.5 because 1 divided by 2 equals 0.5.
2. Fix the sentence:
In Grade 5, the fraction 1/4 written as a decimal is 0.4 since 4 is the denominator value.
Rewrite: In Grade 5, the fraction 1/4 written as a decimal is 0.25 since 1 divided by 4 equals 0.25.
3. Fix the sentence:
A Grade 5 student converted 3/4 and said the equivalent decimal value is 0.34 in simplest form.
Rewrite: A Grade 5 student converted 3/4 and said the equivalent decimal value is 0.75 in simplest form.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. In Grade 5 math, the fraction 1/2 written as a decimal equals 0.5 because 1 divided by 2 is one half.
2. Grade 5 learners convert 1/5 to a decimal by writing 1/5 as 2/10, which equals 0.2 in decimal form.
3. When a Grade 5 student converts 1/10 to a decimal form, the correct answer they write down is 0.1 exactly.
4. A Grade 5 worksheet asks for 3/4 as a decimal; the correct equivalent decimal answer is 0.75 in simplest form.
Part C: Short Answer
Answer each question in one or two complete sentences.
1. Explain how a Grade 5 student converts the fraction 1/4 into a decimal using division and place value.
A Grade 5 student divides 1 by 4 to get 0.25. They can also rewrite 1/4 as 25/100, which equals 0.25 because the hundredths place shows twenty-five hundredths.
2. Describe two ways a Grade 5 student can show that 1/2 equals 0.5 using equivalent fractions and number lines.
A Grade 5 student writes 1/2 as 5/10, which equals 0.5. They can also place 1/2 on a number line halfway between 0 and 1, the same spot as 0.5.
