About the Decimal to Fraction Conversion Worksheet

This interactive and printable worksheet, that aligns with the Common Core State Standards, 5.NBT.A.3-4, introduces students to the essential skill of converting decimal numbers into simplified fractions. The material begins with clear instructions on the conversion process, explaining how place values determine denominators and how to use the greatest common divisor (GCD) to simplify fractions. Through ten carefully selected decimal numbers, students practice converting various types of decimals, including terminating decimals like 0.5 and repeating decimals like 0.333.

The worksheet progresses from simple conversions (0.5, 0.2) to more complex ones (0.875, 0.625), helping students build confidence while mastering increasingly challenging conversions. Each problem reinforces the relationship between decimals and fractions while developing students' understanding of equivalent representations. The inclusion of different decimal types (tenths, hundredths, thousandths) helps students recognize patterns in decimal-to-fraction conversion and strengthens their overall number sense.
