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.

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
