Welcome to the third quiz in our Difficult section of Eleven Plus maths on fractions. In it you will be tested on your ability to perform multiplication and division with fractions, and more besides!
As in previous quizzes, you will need to know the difference between a numerator and denominator, or between a mixed and an improper fraction. If you have played the previous quizzes then of course you will know. If not, don’t worry – everything is explained in the helpful comments after each question.
Make sure you read each question carefully before you choose your answer. Let’s see if you can get all ten questions right first time. Good luck!
1. Divide the numerator by the denominator.
2. Note the whole number remainder.
3. Write the number from step 1 as the whole number in front of the fractional part AND write the fractional part with the remainder in the numerator and keep the original denominator.
STEP 1: 26 ÷ 6 = 4. STEP 2: Remainder 2. STEP 3: 42⁄6. Divide the numerator and denominator by 2 to reduce the fraction to its simplest form: 41⁄3
