Fascinating Fact:

A pie cut into eight equal slices gives each person one eighth, but the person who cuts it often takes a bit more than their share.

In 11 Plus Maths, fractions show how to split things into equal parts. Learning how to recognise and compare fractions is a key skill for building confidence with numbers.

Key Terms

  • Fraction: A way of showing part of a whole, written with a top and bottom number, such as ?.
  • Numerator: The top number in a fraction that shows how many parts are counted.
  • Denominator: The bottom number in a fraction that shows how many equal parts make the whole.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What are fractions used for in everyday life?

Fractions are used to share things equally, measure ingredients, divide time, and work out fair amounts in money or food.

How can I tell if two fractions are equal?

If the fractions represent the same portion of a whole, they are equal — for example, 2/4 is the same as 1/2.

Why are fractions important to learn?

Fractions help build maths skills used in percentages, ratios, and decimals — all of which appear in real-life problem solving.

Maths Quiz - Fractions 2 (Very Easy) (Answers)
1. What does 11⁄12 − 8⁄12 equal?
[ ] 1⁄ 2
[x] 1⁄4
[ ] 1⁄ 3
[ ] 1⁄ 6
If the denominators (bottom numbers) are the same, you can subtract by simply subtracting their numerators (top numbers). 11?12 ? 8?12 = 3?12 BUT this can be reduced to 1?4 if you divide the denominator and the numerator by the SAME number, in this case 3
2. Which one of the fractions below is the smallest?
[ ] 1⁄6
[ ] 2⁄12
[ ] 3⁄18
[x] 1⁄9
The three wrong answers can be reduced to 1?6 which is greater than 1?9 because you are dividing the same numerator, 1 in this case, by a smaller number: 4 in this case
3. Which one of the following fractions is the same as 4⁄6?
[ ] 2⁄12
[ ] 3⁄4
[ ] 1⁄2
[x] 2⁄3
If you divide the denominator and the numerator by the SAME number, you can reduce the fraction to its simplest form. In this case, you divide the denominator AND the numerator by 2
4. What is the value of this fraction: 17⁄26
[ ] Twenty-six seventeenths
[ ] Seventeen twenty-six
[x] Seventeen twenty-sixths
[ ] Seventeen twenty-sixes
Numbers followed by th, st or rd (as in, fourth, first or third) are known as ordinal numbers. The denominators (bottom numbers) in fractions are almost always ordinal numbers
5. Which of the following fractions is the largest?
[ ] 5⁄12
[x] 8⁄15
[ ] 1⁄3
[ ] 1⁄2
8?15 is the only answer greater than one-half
6. What does 9⁄20 + 7⁄20 equal?
[x] 4⁄5
[ ] 15⁄20
[ ] 3⁄4
[ ] 5⁄6
If the denominators (bottom numbers) are the same, you can add by simply adding their numerators (top numbers). 9?20 + 7?20 = 16?20 BUT this can be reduced to 4?5 if you divide the denominator and the numerator by the SAME number, in this case 4
7. Which one of the following fractions is NOT the same as 6⁄7
[ ] 12⁄14
[x] 27⁄35
[ ] 18⁄21
[ ] 24⁄28
All the wrong answers can be reduced by dividing their numerators and denominators by the same number - 2 in 12?14, 3 in 18?21 and 4 in 24?28
8. What is 3 ÷ 1⁄4?
[ ] 3⁄4
[x] 12
[ ] 15
[ ] 4 1⁄4
To work out how many of a fraction are in a whole number, multiply that number by the denominator (bottom number). So, to divide 3 by 1?4, simply multiply 3 x 4 = 12
9. 17⁄23 of Jenny's birthday money has been spent already. What fraction of Jenny's money still remains?
[ ] 1⁄6
[ ] 1⁄4
[x] 6⁄23
[ ] 4⁄23
There are 23 twenty-thirds in 1. If Jenny has spent 17?23, there can only be 6?23 left because 17 + 6 = 23: if the denominators are the same, you can add/subtract the fractions by simply adding/subtracting their numerators
10. Michael had 160 football cards in his collection, but his brother sold a quarter of them. How many football cards has Michael got left?
[ ] 40
[ ] 60
[ ] 80
[x] 120
Michael lost 1?4 of 160. So, 160 ÷ 4 = 40. That means michael has 160 - 40 cards left: 120
