About this worksheet

The word "and" marks the decimal point, and the last place names the fraction: 48.81 is forty-eight and eighty-one hundredths. Students who say "point eight one" need this practice before decimal operations.

Teaching tip

Read the answers aloud as a class; hearing "and" in the right place sticks better than seeing it.
