How to solve Grade 5 decimals problems

Real problems from these worksheets, solved one step at a time — the same explanations your child sees when practicing online.

  1. Example 1

    What is the value of the digit 9 in 17.349?

    1. Find the 9 in 17.349: it is the third digit after the decimal point, the thousandths place.
    2. A digit in the thousandths place is worth that many thousandths: 9 thousandths = 9 ÷ 1000 = 0.009.
    3. So the value of the digit 9 is 0.009.

    Answer: 0.009

  2. Example 2

    5.55 × 9 = ?

    1. Multiply without the decimal points: 555 × 9 = 4995.
    2. Count the decimal places in the factors: 2 + 0 = 2.
    3. Move the decimal point 2 places left: 49.95.
    4. 5.55 × 9 = 49.95

    Answer: 49.95

  3. Example 3

    59.04 ÷ 8 = ?

    1. Divide 59.04 by 8 as with whole numbers.
    2. Put the decimal point in the quotient directly above the one in the dividend.
    3. 59.04 ÷ 8 = 7.38

    Answer: 7.38
