Do you know how to write fractions like ¼ as decimals?

Decimal Numbers 2 (Medium)

Decimal numbers are just another way of writing fractions. For example, one-half can be written as ½, but in decimal, it is 0.5 (that’s because 1 ÷ 2 = 0.5). Familiarity with both forms is essential for the Eleven Plus maths exam.

In this, the second of our medium level quizzes on decimal numbers, your ability to convert decimals to fractions, and vice versa, will be tested to the max! Keep playing until you are fully confident and then try our difficult quizzes on the subject. Before long decimals will cause you no doubt at all!

Make sure to read the comments after you've answered the questions. They are full of helpful tips and explanations that make life much easier.

So, if you are ready, it’s time to begin. Have fun!
