This Grade 5 medium worksheet uses real-world money and measurement situations to practice converting between fractions and decimals. Students change 3/4 of a dollar into $0.75 and 0.6 meter into 3/5 meter through careful simplification. Fill-in items model word-problem thinking, and a matching activity links money and length values to their fractional partners. Learners apply percent, fraction, and decimal skills to practical contexts with confidence and accuracy.
