Free Fractions 03 Practice Test - 6th grade
Question 1
If you subtract 359 from 539 , you will get -
12
2
13
3
SOLUTION
Solution : B
The fractions 359 and 539 are like fractions, as they have same denominator.
To subtract like fractions, we have to subtract only the numerators and keep the denominator same.
539−359=53−359 =189 =2
Question 2
Identify the proper fractions from the following:
1. 117
2. 37
3. 99999
4. 114788
5. 14100
1, 2 and 4
2, 3 and 5
2, 4 and 5
1, 3 and 5
SOLUTION
Solution : C
A proper fraction is a fraction in which the numerator is less than the denominator.
In 2, the numerator (3) is lesser than the denominator (7).
In 4, the numerator (114) is lesser than the denominator (788).
In 5, the numerator (14) is lesser than the denominator (100).
Only 2, 4 and 5 satisfy this condition.
Hence, 2,4 and 5 are proper fractions.
Question 3
If Anu can eat 26 part of a medium pizza containing 6 slices, how many slices can Anu eat?
1
2
3
4
SOLUTION
Solution : B
No. of slices which Anu can eat = 26×6 =2 slices
Question 4
State whether true or false- All the fractions can be expressed as mixed fractions.
True
False
SOLUTION
Solution : B
Only improper fractions can be expressed as mixed fractions.
Question 5
Equivalent fractions are defined as the fractions that represent the
SOLUTION
Solution :Equivalent fractions are defined as the fractions that represent the same part of whole.
Question 6
In the given number line, what is the fraction that point A denotes?
166
186
167
187
SOLUTION
Solution : D
Between 2 and 3, the line is divided into 7 parts.
We know, 2=147 and 3=217.
Thus, the divisions between 2 and 3 marked in the figure correspond to the fractions 157,167,177,187,197 and 207.∴ The point A corresponds to the fraction 187.
Question 7
Add: 414 + 1353 =
241112
24712
24812
24912
SOLUTION
Solution : A
Let us first convert the mixed fraction 1353 to improper fraction.
i.e., 1353=13×3+53=443
Now, 414+1353=414+443=41×34×3+44×43×4=123+17612=29912=241112
Question 8
The fractions which have same numerators are known as like fractions.
True
False
SOLUTION
Solution : B
The fractions which have same denominators are known as like fractions. Otherwise, they are known as unlike fractions
Question 9
P = 78 and Q = 87 ; Which is greater P or Q?
Ans:
SOLUTION
Solution :Given that P = 78 and Q = 87
Let a = 7 ; b = 8; c = 8 and d = 7
We have a×d=7×7=49
b×c=8×8=64
Since a×d<b×c we have
Q > P
Question 10
Determine the numerator and denominator in this fraction: 27
Numerator = 7; Denominator = 2
Numerator = 2; Denominator = 7
Numerator = 14; Denominator = 4
Numerator = 4; Denominator = 14
SOLUTION
Solution : B
This is the example of proper fraction.
The number above the line in a proper/improper fraction is called the numerator and the number below the line is called the denominator.
Hence, here the numerator 2 is and the denominator is 7.
