Decimal Numbers 3 (Easy)
Welcome to the third in our Easy section of Eleven Plus maths quizzes on decimal numbers. In it we look in particular at the value of those digits placed after the decimal point. You know that, in whole numbers, the columns read right to left are for ones, tens, hundreds, thousands etc. Well. In decimal numbers, it’s almost the same, but with no ‘ones’ column - and in reverse!
Perhaps this will help make it clearer:
- First column after decimal point = tenths
- Second column after decimal point = hundredths
- Third column after decimal point = thousandths
- Fourth column after decimal point = ten-thousandths
The fractions get smaller and smaller as you read left to right.
Have a go at this quiz and see how well you understand decimals. Once you get all questions right first time, why not move on to our next quiz for more of a challenge!
1 .
Which digit in the number below is the same as 10 thousandths?
98,765.312
98,765.312
The one

2 .
What is three-thirds represented as a decimal number?
0.999
1
3.333
0.666
Three-thirds make one!
If all the numbers after the decimal point are zeros, then you can leave them out
If all the numbers after the decimal point are zeros, then you can leave them out
3 .
What is two-thirds represented as a decimal number?
0.666
0.6
