Answer key for parents & teachers (40 questions)
  1. Which fraction is equivalent to 1/2? — 4/8. 4/8 = 4÷4 / 8÷4 = 1/2. Equivalent fractions name the same amount.
  2. Compare 3/8 and 5/8. Which is larger? — 5/8. Same denominator: compare numerators. 5 > 3, so 5/8 > 3/8.
  3. How do you generate an equivalent fraction? — Multiply numerator and denominator by the same non-zero number. Multiply (or divide) both top and bottom by the same number to get an equivalent fraction.
  4. Which fraction is equivalent to 2/3? — 4/6. 2/3 = 2×2/3×2 = 4/6.
  5. Compare 2/5 and 2/9. Which is smaller? — 2/9. Same numerator: larger denominator means smaller pieces. 2/9 < 2/5.
  6. What fraction is equivalent to 3/4 with denominator 12? — 9/12. 3/4 = 3×3/4×3 = 9/12.
  7. Is 3/6 equivalent to 1/2? — Yes. 3/6 ÷ 3 = 1/2. Yes, they are equivalent.
  8. Which is the benchmark fraction halfway between 0 and 1? — 1/2. 1/2 is the benchmark halfway between 0 and 1.
  9. What is 2/5 + 1/5? — 3/5. Same denominator: add numerators. 2 + 1 = 3. Answer: 3/5.
  10. What is 7/9 − 3/9? — 4/9. Same denominator: subtract numerators. 7 − 3 = 4. Answer: 4/9.
  11. Which rule applies when adding fractions with LIKE denominators? — Add only the numerators; keep the denominator. Like denominators: add (or subtract) the numerators ONLY. The denominator stays the same.
  12. What is 1/4 + 2/4? — 3/4. 1 + 2 = 3. Denominator stays 4. Answer: 3/4.
  13. 5/6 − 1/6 = ? — 4/6. 5 − 1 = 4. Denominator stays 6. Answer: 4/6 (which simplifies to 2/3).
  14. A pizza cut in 8 slices: you eat 3/8 and your sibling eats 2/8. What fraction did you BOTH eat together? — 5/8. 3/8 + 2/8 = 5/8.
  15. 3/10 + 4/10 = ? — 7/10. 3 + 4 = 7. Keep denominator 10. Answer: 7/10.
  16. A ribbon is 9/12 m. You cut off 5/12 m. What length remains? — 4/12. 9/12 − 5/12 = 4/12 (which simplifies to 1/3).
  17. Convert 7/3 to a mixed number. — 2 1/3. 7 ÷ 3 = 2 remainder 1. So 7/3 = 2 1/3.
  18. Convert 2 3/4 to an improper fraction. — 11/4. (2 × 4) + 3 = 11. So 2 3/4 = 11/4.
  19. Which is larger: 11/4 or 3? — 3. 11/4 = 2 3/4. And 3 > 2 3/4. So 3 is larger.
  20. Which of these is a MIXED NUMBER? — 3 2/5. A mixed number has both a whole part AND a fraction part: 3 2/5. The others are an improper fraction, a whole number, and a decimal.
  21. Convert 17/5 to a mixed number. — 3 2/5. 17 ÷ 5 = 3 remainder 2. So 17/5 = 3 2/5.
  22. Convert 4 1/2 to an improper fraction. — 9/2. (4 × 2) + 1 = 9. So 4 1/2 = 9/2.
  23. What is the WHOLE NUMBER PART of the mixed number 5 2/7? — 5. 5 2/7 means 5 whole units plus 2/7 extra. The whole number part is 5.
  24. An IMPROPER fraction has a numerator that is: — Larger than or equal to the denominator. An improper fraction has numerator ≥ denominator, meaning its value is ≥ 1.
  25. What is 3 × (1/4)? — 3/4. 3 × 1 = 3; keep denominator 4. Answer: 3/4.
  26. What is 5 × (2/3)? — Both A and B. 5 × 2 = 10; denominator 3. 10/3 = 3 1/3. Both are correct!
  27. To multiply a fraction by a whole number, you multiply the whole number by the: — Numerator. n × (a/b) = (n × a)/b. Multiply the whole number by the NUMERATOR; keep the denominator.
  28. What is 4 × (1/2)? — 2. 4 × 1 = 4; 4/2 = 2.
  29. 2 × (3/5) = ? — Both B and C. 2 × 3 = 6; keep denominator 5. 6/5 = 1 1/5. Both B and C are correct!
  30. Each glass holds 1/3 cup. You fill 6 glasses. How much total? — Both A and C. 6 × (1/3) = 6/3 = 2 cups. A and C both equal 2 cups!
  31. What is 8 × (1/4)? — Both A and B. 8 × 1 = 8; 8/4 = 2. Both 8/4 and 2 are the same value!
  32. 3 × (2/7) = ? — 6/7. 3 × 2 = 6; keep denominator 7. Answer: 6/7.
  33. What place value is immediately to the right of the decimal point? — Tenths. The first place after the decimal point is tenths (1/10).
  34. Write 7/10 as a decimal. — 0.7. 7/10 = 7 tenths = 0.7.
  35. Write 0.05 as a fraction. — 5/100. 0.05 = 5 hundredths = 5/100.
  36. What is the value of the digit 4 in 3.47? — 0.4. In 3.47, the 4 is in the tenths place: 4 × 0.1 = 0.4.
  37. Which decimal equals 1/4? — 0.25. 1/4 = 25/100 = 0.25.
  38. Compare: 0.6 ___ 0.60 — =. 0.6 = 0.60 (adding a trailing zero does not change the value).
  39. $3.25 means 3 dollars and how many cents? — 25 cents. $3.25 = 3 dollars + 25 cents. The decimal represents cents (hundredths of a dollar).
  40. What is 9/100 as a decimal? — 0.09. 9/100 = 9 hundredths = 0.09.
