Primary 5 Mathematics Quiz - Fractions: Answer Key

Answer 1.

(a) $5 \div 8 = \frac{5}{8}$ (the division sign becomes a fraction bar). (b) $\frac{11}{20} = \frac{55}{100} = 0.55$ (multiply numerator and denominator by 5 to make hundredths).

Answer 2.

Use a common denominator of 24: $\frac{2}{3} = \frac{16}{24}$ , $\frac{5}{8} = \frac{15}{24}$ , $\frac{3}{4} = \frac{18}{24}$ . Since $\frac{15}{24} < \frac{16}{24} < \frac{18}{24}$ : $\frac{5}{8} < \frac{2}{3} < \frac{3}{4}$ .

Answer 3.

$\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{8}{9} = \frac{3 \times 8}{4 \times 9} = \frac{24}{36}$ Simplify by dividing top and bottom by 12: $\frac{24}{36} = \frac{2}{3}$ . (Marking note: 1 mark for correct product, 1 mark for simplest form.)

Answer 4.

Change to improper fractions: $2\frac{1}{4} = \frac{9}{4}$ and $1\frac{5}{6} = \frac{11}{6}$ . Common denominator 12: $\frac{27}{12} + \frac{22}{12} = \frac{49}{12} = 4\frac{1}{12}$ .

Answer 5.

$3\frac{2}{5} = \frac{(3 \times 5) + 2}{5} = \frac{17}{5}$

Answer 6.

Common denominator 10: $\frac{6}{10} + \frac{7}{10} - \frac{5}{10} = \frac{8}{10}$ Simplify: $\frac{8}{10} = \frac{4}{5}$ .

Answer 7.

Change to improper fractions: $1\frac{2}{3} = \frac{5}{3}$ and $2\frac{2}{5} = \frac{12}{5}$ . $\frac{5}{3} \times \frac{12}{5} = \frac{60}{15} = 4$

Answer 8.

Change to improper fraction: $3\frac{1}{2} = \frac{7}{2}$ . Dividing by $\frac{7}{8}$ means multiplying by its reciprocal $\frac{8}{7}$ : $\frac{7}{2} \times \frac{8}{7} = \frac{56}{14} = 4$ .

Answer 9.

" $\frac{5}{6}$ of 48" means $\frac{5}{6} \times 48$ . Method: $48 \div 6 = 8$ (one part), then $8 \times 5 = 40$ .

Answer 10.

Work from left to right. Step 1: $2\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{7}{3} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{21}{12} = \frac{7}{4}$ . Step 2: $\frac{7}{4} \div 1\frac{1}{6} = \frac{7}{4} \times \frac{6}{7} = \frac{42}{28} = \frac{3}{2} = 1\frac{1}{2}$ .

Answer 11.

Flour used = $\frac{2}{5}$ of $\frac{3}{4}$ kg $= \frac{2}{5} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{6}{20} = \frac{3}{10}$ kg. (Marking note: 1 mark for recognising "of" as multiply, 1 mark for product, 1 mark for simplification with unit.)

Answer 12.

Ribbon remaining = $5\frac{5}{8} - 2\frac{3}{4} = \frac{45}{8} - \frac{22}{8} = \frac{23}{8} = 2\frac{7}{8}$ m.

Answer 13.

Water now = $12\frac{1}{2} + 3\frac{3}{5} - 4\frac{1}{4}$ . Using common denominator 20: $\frac{250}{20} + \frac{72}{20} - \frac{85}{20} = \frac{237}{20} = 11\frac{17}{20}$ ℓ. (New-student tip: change each mixed number to twentieths first, then add and subtract the numerators.)

Answer 14.

Walking: $\frac{3}{8} \times 40 = 15$ pupils. Bus: $\frac{1}{4} \times 40 = 10$ pupils. Driven: $40 - 15 - 10 = 15$ pupils.

Answer 15.

Sugar needed = $\frac{2}{3} \times 3\frac{1}{2} = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{7}{2} = \frac{14}{6} = \frac{7}{3} = 2\frac{1}{3}$ cups.

Answer 16.

Fraction spent: $\frac{1}{4} + \frac{2}{5} = \frac{5}{20} + \frac{8}{20} = \frac{13}{20}$ . Fraction left: $1 - \frac{13}{20} = \frac{7}{20}$ of his salary, worth $1050. Salary =$ 1050 ÷ \frac{7}{20} = 1050 × \frac{20}{7} = $3000. (Check: rent$ 750 + food $1200 =$ 1950 spent; $3000 −$ 1950 = $1050 left. ✓)

Answer 17.

(i) Number of pieces = $9 \div \frac{3}{4} = 9 \times \frac{4}{3} = 12$ pieces. (ii) Each piece gives 2 halves: $12 \times 2 = 24$ half-pieces.

Answer 18.

Capacity = $2\frac{2}{5} = \frac{12}{5}$ ℓ. Water in jug = $\frac{5}{8} \times \frac{12}{5} = \frac{60}{40} = \frac{3}{2} = 1\frac{1}{2}$ ℓ. Water needed = $\frac{12}{5} - \frac{3}{2} = \frac{24}{10} - \frac{15}{10} = \frac{9}{10}$ ℓ.

Answer 19.

After Monday: remainder = $1 - \frac{2}{5} = \frac{3}{5}$ of the book. Tuesday: read $\frac{1}{3}$ of the remainder = $\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{3}{5} = \frac{1}{5}$ of the book. Left: $\frac{3}{5} - \frac{1}{5} = \frac{2}{5}$ of the book = 120 pages. Book = $120 \div \frac{2}{5} = 120 \times \frac{5}{2} = 300$ pages.

Left: $\frac{4}{7} - \frac{5}{14} = \frac{8}{14} - \frac{5}{14} = \frac{3}{14}$ of the apples = 30 apples. At first: $30 \div \frac{3}{14} = 30 \times \frac{14}{3} = 140$ apples. (Check: morning sold $\frac{3}{7} × 140 = 60$ ; remaining 80; afternoon sold $\frac{5}{8} × 80 = 50$ ; left $80 − 50 = 30$ . ✓)
