Fraction and Decimal Word Problems Worksheet (Grades 5–6)

This free printable fraction and decimal word problems worksheet is designed for Grades 5–6 and helps students practice solving problems that include both fractions and decimals in real-world contexts.

The worksheet features mixed fraction and decimal word problems similar to those found in classrooms and standardized assessments. Students are asked to convert between fractions and decimals when needed, apply the correct operations, and clearly show their work. All final answers are written in decimal form, reinforcing an important Grade 5–6 math skill.

This resource is especially helpful for:

  • Upper elementary math classrooms
  • Homeschool lessons covering fractions and decimals
  • Extra practice with fraction and decimal word problems
  • Students who understand fractions and decimals separately but struggle when they appear together

The problems gradually increase in difficulty, giving students confidence with simpler conversions before moving on to more challenging, multi-step situations. A complete answer key with step-by-step solutions is included for easy review and instruction.
