Class 6 Decimals – Answer Key

Answer: (D) 1/2
0.5 means 5 tenths, which is 5/10. Divide top and bottom by 5 to get 1/2.
Answer: (A) 5.75
Write 3.4 as 3.40 and add: 3.40 + 2.35 = 5.75.
Answer: (C) Hundredths
After the point the digits are 0 (tenths), 7 (hundredths) and 3 (thousandths). So 7 is in the hundredths place.
Answer: (D) 4.7
Line up the points: 7.5 − 2.8. Borrowing from the units gives 15 tenths − 8 tenths = 7 tenths and 6 − 2 = 4, so 4.7.
Answer: (B) 0.8
Write them with two places: 0.80, 0.75, 0.08, 0.70. The largest is 0.80, which is 0.8.
Answer: (C) 0.25
The denominator 100 means hundredths, so 25/100 = 0.25.
Answer: (A) 3.6
Multiply 12 × 3 = 36. Since 1.2 has one decimal place, the answer has one decimal place: 3.6.
Answer: (D) ₹58.25
Add 45.50 + 12.75. Paise: 50 + 75 = 125 = 1 rupee and 25 paise. Rupees: 45 + 12 + 1 = 58. Total ₹58.25.
Answer: (C) 6.4
A zero at the end of the decimal part does not change the value, so 6.40 = 6.4.
Answer: (B) 3.25 m
100 cm = 1 m, so 25 cm = 0.25 m. Then 3 m + 0.25 m = 3.25 m.
