Decimal Numbers (Difficult)

Decimal numbers are those that are less than a whole number. In this the first of our difficult series of 11-plus Maths quizzes on decimal numbers you will get some practice in using decimals in real life situations. By the way, in real life you would not be required to give answers with as many decimal places as shown in these questions.

This quiz is a little tougher than the others, so be sure to read the questions carefully. Look at all the answers before choosing one. You may find it handy to have a pencil and paper next to you to jot down any calculations.

The more you can do these kind of calculations quickly in your head, the better prepared you'll be in everyday life. Having a solid grasp of numbers, measures and conversions will mean you're one step ahead of the rest when it comes to working out mathematical calculations.
