About fraction and decimal word problems

Fraction stories find a fraction of an amount (the amount always divides evenly) or add and subtract fractions whose denominators are the same or where one divides the other. Decimal stories use money and measurements: adding and subtracting prices, multiplying a price or length, and sharing a total equally.

Answers to adding and subtracting fractions are in simplest form and always less than one, and money answers have two decimal places. There are twelve different story patterns for each kind. Choose a theme to set the stories in a bakery, a garden, space and more, with names, foods, places and celebrations from many cultures.
