Decimal Multiplication and Division Practice Tests

These Grade 5 Math practice tests help students multiply and divide decimals accurately. Students practice powers of ten, counting decimal places, rewriting decimal divisors as whole numbers, estimating, and solving measurement and money problems.

Skills covered

  • Multiplying decimals by whole numbers and decimals
  • Dividing decimals by whole numbers and decimal divisors
  • Using powers of ten to shift decimal points
  • Counting decimal places in a product
  • Estimating products and quotients to check reasonableness
  • Solving money, length, volume, weight, and measurement word problems

How to use these practice tests

Write the operation clearly, use place-value reasoning, and check whether the size of the answer makes sense. When the divisor is a decimal, multiply both the dividend and divisor by the same power of ten so the divisor becomes a whole number.
