Instructions: Work through each activity and show your method in the answer boxes. Use common factors to simplify and common multiples to find common denominators. Check that your answers are sensible; simplify each fraction where possible.

Simplify and Find Common Denominators

For Questions 1–3, divide the numerator and denominator by the same common factor to simplify. For Questions 4–5, find a common denominator and write each equivalent fraction. Show your working.

1. Simplify 12/18.

2. Simplify 15/25.

3. Simplify 21/28.

4. Write 2/3 and 3/4 as equivalent fractions with denominator 12.

5. Write 5/6 and 1/4 as equivalent fractions with denominator 12.

Compare and Order Fractions

Use equivalent fractions or a common denominator to compare the fractions. For Questions 1–3, write <, > or = in the box. For Questions 4–5, write the fractions in the requested order.

1. 3/4 5/8

2. 2/3 4/6

3. 7/6 5/4

4. Order from smallest to largest: 1/2, 3/4, 2/3.

5. Order from largest to smallest: 5/4, 7/6, 3/2.

Add and Subtract Fractions

Find a common denominator before adding or subtracting fractions with different denominators. Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions if that helps. Give each answer in its simplest form.

1. 1/2 + 1/3 =

2. 3/4 − 1/6 =

3. 2 1/3 + 1 1/6 =

4. 3 1/4 − 1 1/2 =

5. 5/6 + 3/8 =

Multiply and Divide Fractions

To multiply, multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators, then simplify. To divide a proper fraction by a whole number, divide the fraction by that number and simplify your result.

1. 2/3 × 3/5 =

2. 4/7 × 1/2 =

3. 3/4 × 2/5 =

4. 1/2 ÷ 3 =

5. 3/5 ÷ 2 =
