Students solve three decimal word problems — total cost with unit prices, rope length per piece after division, and total running distance. Part B has five fill-in-the-blank word problems about book costs, change from a purchase, and splitting a bill equally.
Decimal word problems requiring all four operations in real-world money, measurement, and distance contexts build the applied mathematics fluency students use across all Grade 5 problem-solving situations.
