Real Fractions: Mixed Operations practice questions
Farah used 3/5 of a tin of paint on one wall, and Halim used 5/8 of an identical tin on another wall. Who used the greater fraction of a tin of paint?
Farah
Halim ✓
Cross-multiply: 3 × 8 = 24 and 5 × 5 = 25. Since 25 > 24, 5/8 is greater than 3/5, so Halim used the greater fraction.
Priya poured 2/3 of a jug of water into a bucket, and Wei Ling poured 3/5 of an identical jug into another bucket. Who poured the greater fraction of a jug?
Priya ✓
Wei Ling
Cross-multiply: 2 × 5 = 10 and 3 × 3 = 9. Since 10 > 9, 2/3 is greater than 3/5, so Priya poured the greater fraction.
Aiman ran 5/9 of a lap before resting, and Suresh ran 4/7 of the same-length lap before resting. Who ran the greater fraction of a lap?
Aiman
Suresh ✓
Cross-multiply: 5 × 7 = 35 and 4 × 9 = 36. Since 36 > 35, 4/7 is greater than 5/9, so Suresh ran the greater fraction.
Which represents more actual questions: 3/4 of a 40-question test, or 2/5 of a 90-question test?
3/4 of 40
Cannot be determined
2/5 of 90 ✓
They are equal
3/4 of 40 = 30 questions. 2/5 of 90 = 36 questions. Since 36 > 30, 2/5 of 90 represents more questions.
