Primary 4 Mathematics Quiz - Fractions (Answer Key)

Total Marks: 40
Topic: Fractions (P4 Syllabus: Mixed numbers, improper fractions, equivalence, addition/subtraction, fractions of a set/quantity, multiplication by whole number)

Section A Answers (1 mark each)

1. $\frac{3}{4}$
Teaching note: Divide numerator and denominator by common factor 2: $6 \div 2 = 3$ , $8 \div 2 = 4$ . Always give simplest form.

2. D (Both A and C)
Teaching note: $\frac{3}{4} = \frac{3\times2}{4\times2} = \frac{6}{8}$ ; also $\frac{3\times3}{4\times3} = \frac{9}{12}$ . Both are equivalent. Common mistake: picking only one.

3. $\frac{7}{3}$
Teaching note: $2\frac{1}{3} = \frac{2\times3+1}{3} = \frac{7}{3}$ . Mixed number to improper: whole × denominator + numerator.

4. $3\frac{1}{4}$
Teaching note: $13 \div 4 = 3$ remainder 1, so $\frac{13}{4} = 3\frac{1}{4}$ .

5. $\frac{3}{5}$
Teaching note: Same denominator, add numerators: $2+1=3$ , keep 5.

6. $\frac{5}{9}$
Teaching note: $7-2=5$ , denominator stays 9.

7. 15
Teaching note: $\frac{3}{4}$ of 20 = $20 \div 4 \times 3 = 5 \times 3 = 15$ .

8. $\frac{2}{3}$
Teaching note: Common denominator 15: $\frac{2}{3}=\frac{10}{15}$ , $\frac{3}{5}=\frac{9}{15}$ . So $\frac{2}{3}$ larger.

9. $\frac{5}{6}$
Teaching note: LCM of 2 and 3 is 6. $\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{6}$ , $\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2}{6}$ , sum = $\frac{5}{6}$ .

10. 20
Teaching note: $\frac{5}{6}$ of 24 = $24 \div 6 \times 5 = 4 \times 5 = 20$ .

Section B Answers (2 marks each)

11. $\frac{5}{6} - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{10}{12} - \frac{3}{12} = \frac{7}{12}$
Marks: 1 for common denominator 12, 1 for correct answer.
Teaching note: LCM of 6,4 = 12.

12. $\frac{5}{8}$ kg
Working: $\frac{1}{4}=\frac{2}{8}$ , $\frac{3}{8}+\frac{2}{8}=\frac{5}{8}$ .
Marks: 1 for conversion, 1 for total.

13. $\frac{17}{5}$
Working: $3\frac{2}{5} = \frac{3\times5+2}{5} = \frac{17}{5}$ .
Marks: 1 process, 1 answer.

14. $\frac{7}{10}$
Working: $\frac{7}{10}=\frac{21}{30}$ , $\frac{2}{3}=\frac{20}{30}$ ; 21>20.
Marks: 1 for comparison working, 1 answer.

15. $\frac{7}{12}$
Working: $\frac{1}{3}=\frac{4}{12}$ , $\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{12}$ , total $\frac{7}{12}$ .
Marks: 1 conversion, 1 sum.

16. $1\frac{1}{2}$
Working: $4 \times \frac{3}{8} = \frac{12}{8} = \frac{3}{2} = 1\frac{1}{2}$ .
Marks: 1 for multiplication, 1 for mixed number simplest.

Section C Answers (3 marks each)

17. Gave away $\frac{1}{2}$ , left $\frac{1}{3}$
Working: She gave $\frac{1}{2}$ of whole ribbon (stated). Left = $\frac{5}{6} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{6} - \frac{3}{6} = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}$ .
Marks: 1 gave away, 2 for subtraction + simplify.
Note: "of the ribbon" in story means whole ribbon.

18. Boys 12, Girls 16
Working: Boys = $\frac{3}{7} \times 28 = 28\div7\times3 = 12$ . Girls = $28-12=16$ .
Marks: 2 for boys calc, 1 for girls.

19. Fraction $\frac{11}{12}$ , mass 11 kg
Working: Used frac = $\frac{2}{3}+\frac{1}{4} = \frac{8}{12}+\frac{3}{12}=\frac{11}{12}$ . Mass = $\frac{11}{12}\times12 = 11$ kg.
Marks: 1 frac addition, 1 conversion, 1 mass.

20. Read $\frac{2}{3}$ , left $\frac{1}{3}$
Working: Read = $\frac{1}{4}+\frac{5}{12} = \frac{3}{12}+\frac{5}{12} = \frac{8}{12} = \frac{2}{3}$ . Left = $1 - \frac{2}{3} = \frac{1}{3}$ .
Marks: 1 addition, 1 simplify, 1 left.
