Fractions worksheets

Each fraction can be reduced, and the answer key gives it in lowest terms.

Students compare two fractions with different denominators, either by finding a common denominator or by cross-multiplying.

When denominators are the same, only the numerators are added.

Subtract the numerators and keep the denominator.

Students must first rewrite both fractions with a common denominator, ideally the least common multiple.

The larger fraction always comes first, so answers are positive.

Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together, then simplify.

To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal ("keep, change, flip").

Multiply the whole number by the denominator, add the numerator, and keep the same denominator: 3 1/3 = (3 × 3 + 1)/3 = 10/3..

Divide the numerator by the denominator: the quotient is the whole number and the remainder is the new numerator.
