Grade 4 Decimals Test Answer Key: questions 1–5
Question 1: Shaded grid (2 points)
- \(rac{58}{100}\).
- \(0.58\).
Scoring: 1 point for each part.
Question 2: Fractions to decimals (2 points)
- 0.7
- 0.07
Scoring: 1 point for each part. Give no point if the digit is in the wrong place.
Question 3: Decimals to fractions (2 points)
- \(rac{3}{10}\)
- \(rac{46}{100}\)
Scoring: 1 point for each part. The denominator must match the place of the last digit.
Question 4: Decimals on a number line (2 points)
- Each step is 0.01, so A is 0.53.
- B is 8 steps after 0.5: 0.58.
Scoring: 1 point for each point.
Question 5: Adding fractions (2 points)
- \(rac{60}{100} + rac{7}{100} = rac{67}{100}\) = 0.67
- \(rac{40}{100} + rac{35}{100} = rac{75}{100}\) = 0.75
Scoring: 1 point for each part: 0.5 for renaming the tenths, 0.5 for the correct sum.
Grade 4 Decimals Test Answer Key: questions 6–9
Question 6: Compare decimals (2 points)
- \(0.70 > 0.69\): >
- \(0.08 < 0.10\): <
Scoring: 1 point for each correct symbol with correct reasoning.
Question 7: Rainfall (3 points)
- As hundredths: 0.40, 0.35, 0.04. The order is 0.04, 0.35, 0.4.
- \(rac{4}{10} + rac{35}{100} = rac{40}{100} + rac{35}{100} = rac{75}{100}\). 0.75 inch.
Scoring: Part a: 2 points for the correct order, 1 point if only one number is out of place. Part b: 1 point.
Question 8: Garden squares (3 points)
- \(rac{34}{100} = \)0.34.
- Two full rows are shaded: \(rac{20}{100} = rac{2}{10} = \)0.2.
- \(rac{34}{100} + rac{20}{100} = rac{54}{100} = \)0.54.
Scoring: 1 point for each part. In part b, 0.5 for the fraction and 0.5 for the decimal.
Question 9: Place value (2 points)
- The 6 is in the tenths place: 6 tenths, or 0.6.
- \(4.63 = 4 + rac{6}{10} + rac{3}{100}\)
Scoring: 1 point for each part. Both blanks must be correct in part b.
