Test: Thousandths as decimals - Year 6 MCQ

0.345 is read as "three hundred forty-five thousandths", where "three" represents the hundreds place, "four" the tens place, and "five" the units place.

0.6 is equivalent to 6/10, which simplifies to 3/5 when divided by 2.

0.075 as a fraction is 75/1000, which simplifies to 75/1000 because 75 and 1000 are coprime.

To find the decimal form of the fraction 3/250​, let's perform the division:

3/250=3÷250=0.012

Here's the step-by-step explanation of the division:

1. 3÷250 cannot be divided directly since 3 is smaller than 250.
2. Add a decimal point and a zero to 3, making it 30. Now divide 30 by 250, which results in 0 with a remainder of 30.
3. Add another zero to 30, making it 300. Now divide 300 by 250, which gives 1 (since 250×1=250) with a remainder of 50.
4. Add another zero to 50, making it 500. Now divide 500 by 250, which gives 2 (since 250×2=500) with no remainder.

Thus, the decimal equivalent of 3/250​ is 0.012.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

1. 0.012.

To compare 0.125 and 0.12, you can follow these steps:

1. Convert the numbers to the same decimal places:

   • 0.125 has three decimal places.
   • 0.12 has two decimal places. To make a direct comparison, you can add an extra zero to make it 0.120.

2. Compare the decimal numbers:

   • 0.125 (which is 0.125) is greater than 0.120 (which is 0.12).

So, the answer is:

1. 0.125 is greater than 0.12.
