Sample AK STAR Math Grade 5 Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the AK STAR Math Grade 5 exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1In the number 72.384, which digit is in the hundredths place?

A.3

B.8

C.4

D.2

Explanation: After the decimal point the places are tenths, hundredths, and thousandths. The second digit after the decimal is 8, so 8 is in the hundredths place.

2What is the value of the digit 6 in 5.061?

A.6 tenths

B.6 hundredths

C.6 thousandths

D.6 ones

Explanation: The digit 6 is the second digit after the decimal point, so it is in the hundredths place. Its value is 6 hundredths, or 0.06.

3Which number is greater: 0.47 or 0.5?

A.0.47

B.0.5

C.They are equal

D.Cannot be determined

Explanation: Write 0.5 as 0.50 so both have hundredths. 50 hundredths is greater than 47 hundredths, so 0.5 is greater than 0.47.

4How does the value of the digit 7 change when it moves from the tenths place in 3.7 to the hundredths place in 3.07?

A.It becomes 10 times as large

B.It becomes 10 times as small

C.It becomes 100 times as small

D.It stays the same

Explanation: Each place to the right is one-tenth the value of the place to its left. Moving one place right from tenths (0.7) to hundredths (0.07) makes the 7 ten times as small.

5What is 4.86 multiplied by 10?

A.0.486

B.48.6

C.486

D.4.860

Explanation: Multiplying by 10 moves the decimal point one place to the right. 4.86 becomes 48.6.

6What is 53.2 divided by 100?

A.5.32

B.0.532

C.532

D.0.0532

Explanation: Dividing by 100 moves the decimal point two places to the left. Starting at 53.2 gives 0.532.

7Rounded to the nearest hundredth, what is 9.246?

A.9.24

B.9.25

C.9.2

D.9.30

Explanation: The hundredths digit is 4, and the digit to its right is 6. Because 6 is 5 or greater, round the 4 up to 5, giving 9.25.

8Which number is written as 'three and twenty-five thousandths'?

A.3.25

B.3.025

C.3.205

D.32.5

Explanation: The word 'and' marks the decimal. Twenty-five thousandths uses three decimal places as 025, so the number is 3.025.

9Which comparison of these decimals is true?

A.0.308 > 0.38

B.0.308 = 0.380

C.0.308 < 0.38

D.0.38 < 0.308

Explanation: Write 0.38 as 0.380. Compare thousandths: 308 thousandths is less than 380 thousandths, so 0.308 < 0.38.

10In 6.444, how many times greater is the value of the first 4 after the decimal than the value of the last 4?

A.10 times greater

B.100 times greater

C.1,000 times greater

D.They have the same value

Explanation: The first 4 after the decimal is 4 tenths (0.4). The last 4 is 4 thousandths (0.004). 0.4 divided by 0.004 equals 100, so the first 4 is 100 times greater.
