Fractions 3 (Medium)

Fractions show parts of a whole. Understanding them helps with comparing, adding and dividing quantities. These are vital skills for success in 11 Plus Maths.

Fascinating Fact:

If a cake recipe needs three quarters of a cup of sugar and you only use one half, you are missing one quarter of sweetness.

In 11 Plus Maths, pupils explore fractions to understand how numbers can be divided into equal parts. Mastering fractions strengthens reasoning and prepares students for more advanced maths topics.

  • Numerator: The top number in a fraction showing how many parts are taken.
  • Denominator: The bottom number in a fraction showing total parts in the whole.
  • Equivalent Fractions: Fractions that have different numbers but represent the same value.
What are fractions used for in everyday life?

Fractions are used when sharing food, measuring ingredients, dividing money or comparing quantities. They are all examples of parts of a whole.

How do you simplify a fraction?

To simplify a fraction, divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor until you cannot divide further.

What is the difference between a proper and an improper fraction?

A proper fraction has a smaller numerator than denominator, like 3/4. An improper fraction has a larger numerator, like 5/3, and can be written as a mixed number.

1 .
What is 139 of 63?
91
84
77
70
Of means multiply in this case: 13?9 × 63 = (13 × 63) ÷ 9 = 819 ÷ 9 = 91. 13?9 is greater than 1, so the answer will be more than 63
2 .
What is 634 as an improper fraction?
284
274
264
254
To convert a mixed fraction to an improper fraction, follow these steps:
1. Multiply the whole number part by the denominator.
2. Add this result to the numerator.
3. Write the fraction with step 2 in the numerator and keep the original denominator.
STEP 1: 6 × 4 = 24. STEP 2: 24 + 3 = 27. STEP 3: 27?4
3 .
What is 67 of 84?
82
78
72
66
Of means multiply in this case: 6?7 × 84 = (6 × 84) ÷ 7 = 504 ÷ 7 = 72. Do the brackets first
4 .
How many thirteenths are there in 6?
72
74
76
78
There are thirteen thirteenths in 1, so there are 13 × 6 = 78 thirteenths in 6. In general, the number in the denominator tells you how many fractions of that type are needed to make 1. For example, you need three thirds to make 1, but you need ten tenths to make 1 and so on.
REMEMBER this stuff, and you won't get confused with fractions
5 .
Which is greater: 12 x 113, or 13 x 19?
12 x 113
13 x 19
They are both the same
There is not enough information to answer the question
To multiply fractions, times the numerators by each other, and the denominators by each other: 1?2 x 1?13 = 1?26
1?3 x 1?9 = 1?27
6 .
What is 278 as an improper fraction?
218
238
258
278
To convert a mixed fraction to an improper fraction, follow these steps:
1. Multiply the whole number part by the denominator.
2. Add this result to the numerator.
3. Write the fraction with step 2 in the numerator and keep the original denominator.
STEP 1: 2 × 8 = 16. STEP 2: 16 + 7 = 23. STEP 3: 23?8
7 .
What is 435 as a mixed fraction?
815
735
835
915
To convert an improper fraction to a mixed fraction, follow these steps:
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: 43 ÷ 5 = 8. STEP 2: Remainder 3. STEP 3: 83?5
8 .
What is 1316 - 12 + 34?
1516
1
1116
118
13?16 - 1?2 + 3?4 = 13?16 - 8?16 + 12?16 = 17?16 which is the same as 11?16
Convert all the fractions to the same numerator, then do your calculations. If the denominators are the same, you can add the fractions by simply adding their numerators - it really is as easy as that!
9 .
What is 312 + 36 + 34?
114
112
113
116
First, convert all the fractions to the same numerator: 3?12 + 3?6 + 3?4 = 3?12 + 6?12 + 9?12 = 18?12. We then convert this into a mixed fraction: 16?12 which can be simplified to 11?2
10 .
What is 194 as a mixed fraction?
514
5
434
412
To convert an improper fraction to a mixed fraction, follow these steps:
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: 19 ÷ 4 = 4. STEP 2: Remainder 3. STEP 3: 43?4
