Fractions – it’s a word that can strike terror in some people. But, if you’ve already played our previous quizzes on the topic, this one will not be too difficult. It will test your ability to add, subtract and divide fractions, and will also see how good you are at converting one fraction into another.
Basically, fractions are made of two numbers: the denominator (the bottom number) tells you how many ‘pieces’ a whole has been cut into, and the numerator (the top number) tells you how many of those pieces the fraction represents. For example, in 1⁄4, 4 is the denominator (a whole is cut into four pieces) and 1 is the numerator (a quarter represents one of those pieces).
Okay then, now we’ve honed our wits, it’s time for the quiz. Good luck!
