Primary 3 Mathematics Quiz - Fractions (Answer Key)

Total Marks: 20
Topic: Fractions (Equivalent, Compare, Add/Subtract related)

Section A

Q1. $\frac{2}{4}$
Teaching note: Equivalent fractions have the same value. $\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1\times2}{2\times2} = \frac{2}{4}$ . Common mistake: picking $\frac{2}{3}$ because the numbers look similar.

Q2. $\frac{1}{2}$
Working: Divide numerator and denominator by 4: $\frac{4\div4}{8\div4} = \frac{1}{2}$ .

Q3. $\frac{1}{3}$
Reasoning: Same numerator (1), smaller denominator means larger pieces. So $\frac{1}{3} > \frac{1}{4}$ .

Q4. 4
Working: $\frac{2}{5} = \frac{2\times2}{5\times2} = \frac{4}{10}$ . Missing numerator is 4.

Q5. $\frac{1}{4}, \frac{1}{2}, \frac{3}{4}$
Method: Use same denominator 4: $\frac{1}{4}, \frac{2}{4}, \frac{3}{4}$ → order clear.

Q6. $\frac{1}{4}$
Visual check: Rectangle split into 4 equal parts, 1 shaded → 1 out of 4 = $\frac{1}{4}$ .

Q7. $\frac{2}{3}$
Working: $\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3} = \frac{1+1}{3} = \frac{2}{3}$ .

Q8. $\frac{2}{4}$ (or $\frac{1}{2}$ )
Working: $\frac{3}{4}-\frac{1}{4} = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}$ .

Q9. $\frac{2}{3}$
Working: Divide by 3: $\frac{6\div3}{9\div3} = \frac{2}{3}$ .

Q10. $\frac{1}{2}$
Reasoning: $\frac{3}{6} = \frac{3\div3}{6\div3} = \frac{1}{2}$ .

Section B

Q11. $\frac{3}{4}$
Working: $\frac{1}{2} = \frac{2}{4}$ , so $\frac{2}{4}+\frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4}$ .

Q12. $\frac{1}{2}$ (or $\frac{3}{6}$ )
Working: $\frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{6}$ , $\frac{5}{6}-\frac{2}{6} = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}$ .

Q13. 9
Working: $\frac{3}{4} = \frac{3\times3}{4\times3} = \frac{9}{12}$ .

Q14. $\frac{5}{8}$
Working: 8 pieces total, 3 eaten, left = $8-3=5$ pieces → $\frac{5}{8}$ .

Q15. $\frac{2}{5}$
Reasoning: Same denominator, smaller numerator is smaller fraction.

Q16. $\frac{2}{6}, \frac{3}{9}$ (other correct answers: $\frac{4}{12}$ etc.)
Method: Multiply by 2, 3: $\frac{1\times2}{3\times2}=\frac{2}{6}$ , $\frac{1\times3}{3\times3}=\frac{3}{9}$ .

Section C

Q17. $\frac{3}{6}$ (or $\frac{1}{2}$ )
Working: $\frac{1}{6}+\frac{2}{6} = \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}$ .

Q18. $\frac{4}{10}$ m
Working: $\frac{7}{10}-\frac{3}{10} = \frac{4}{10}$ m.

Q19. <
Reasoning: Same denominator 12, 5 < 7 so $\frac{5}{12} < \frac{7}{12}$ .

Q20. 6
Working: $\frac{2}{3} = \frac{2\times2}{3\times2} = \frac{4}{6}$ . Blank is 6.
