Free Fractions 02 Practice Test - 4th Grade 

Question 1

The fractions 120, 230135125 are called ___ ( like / unlike ) fractions.

SOLUTION

Solution :

The given fractions are 120, 230135125.

The denominator of the given fractions are 20, 30, 35, 25. All the denominators are different.

Hence, they are unlike fractions.

Question 2

Which among the following fractions is the greatest?

A.

810

B.

820

C.

830

D.

840

SOLUTION

Solution : A

If we break a chocolate bar into 10 pieces and take 8 out of them, it will be more than if we break the same chocolate bar into 20 pieces and take 8 out of 20. This is true for the other fractions also.

Hence 810 is the greatest fraction among 810,830,840,820.

We can also see that the numerator in all of the fractions is the same which is 8. However the numerator is increasing, 10, 20, 30, 40.

If the numerator of the fractions are same then the value of the fraction decreases if the value of the denominator increases.

Question 7

213+213=?

A.

413

B.

513

C.

613
