Fractions- 2 - Free MCQ Practice Test with solutions, Class 5 Mathematics

• To find the product of fractions, multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.

• Multiply: 1/2 by 2/1.

• Calculate the numerator: 1 × 2 = 2.

• Calculate the denominator: 2 × 1 = 2.

• The result is 2/2, which simplifies to 1.

To find the sum of 1/2 and 1/2, follow these steps:

• Add the two fractions: 1/2 + 1/2.
• Since both fractions have the same denominator, simply add the numerators: 1 + 1 = 2.
• Keep the denominator the same: 2.
• The result is 2/2, which simplifies to 1.

1 / 8 < 1 / 4.  Therefore, 1/8 has been wrongly placed on the number line as it should lie between 0 and 1/4.

Step 1: Understand the parts

• Whole number part: 2
• Fractional part: 4/5

Step 2: Multiply the whole number by the denominator

Multiply 2 (whole number) by 5 (denominator of the fraction): 2 × 5 = 10

Step 3: Add the numerator

Add the result from Step 2 to the numerator 4:

10 + 4 = 14

Step 4: Write the result as a fraction

Keep the same denominator (5) and put the result as the numerator:

14/5

The fraction 9/8 is greater than 7/8 as 9 is greater than 7 as they have the same denominators and the numerator 9 is greater than 7

Both numerator and denominator of 6/8 are divisible by 2. Dividing 6 by 2 gives 3 and dividing 8 by 2 gives 4, so the fraction simplifies to 3/4.

To find the sum of the fractions 2/3 and 10/3, follow these steps:

• Since the denominators are the same, you can add the numerators directly.
• Add the numerators: 2 + 10 = 12.
• Keep the denominator the same: 3.
• So, the sum is 12/3.
• To Simplify 12/3, Divide both numerator and denominator by common factor 4
  we get, 4

Therefore, the sum of the fractions is 4.

To determine which sport has more students, compare the fractions:

• The fraction of chess players is 8/9.
• The fraction of cricket players is 9/18, which simplifies to 1/2.

Since 8/9 is greater than 1/2, there are more students playing chess.

To subtract fractions, ensure they have the same denominator.

• Convert 8/16 to a simpler form: 1/2.
• Both fractions are now 1/2.
• Subtract: 1/2 - 1/2 = 0.

The result of the subtraction is 0.

The equation is:
_____ + ⁴/₅ = ⁴/₅
To satisfy this equation, we need to add a number that keeps the total sum equal to 4/5​. The only number that can be added to 4/5 without changing its value is 0.

So, the blank should be filled with 0 to make the equation true.
0 + ⁴/₅ = ⁴/₅
