Worked practice questions

In a fraction, which part represents the number of equal parts the whole has been divided into?

  1. The denominator
  2. The numerator
  3. The whole number
  4. The remainder
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. The denominator

1. A fraction has a top and a bottom, each with its own job. 2. The denominator represents the number of equal parts the whole has been divided into. 3. The numerator represents how many parts are included. 4. So the bottom number counts the pieces the whole was cut into. _Source: OpenStax Prealgebra 2e (CC BY 4.0), Ch 4 'Fractions', sections 4.1-4.7_

In a fraction, which part represents how many parts are included?

  1. The reciprocal
  2. The numerator
  3. The denominator
  4. The whole number
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. The numerator

1. The two parts of a fraction answer different questions. 2. The denominator counts the equal parts the whole was divided into. 3. The numerator represents how many parts are included. 4. So the top number counts the pieces you actually have. _Source: OpenStax Prealgebra 2e (CC BY 4.0), Ch 4 'Fractions', sections 4.1-4.7_

A number consisting of a whole number and a fraction is called a:

  1. Mixed number
  2. Prime number
  3. Square number
  4. Whole number
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Mixed number

1. Some quantities need both a whole part and a fractional part. 2. Eight fifths can be written another way. 3. A mixed number consists of a whole number and a fraction. 4. Improper fractions can be rewritten as mixed numbers. _Source: OpenStax Prealgebra 2e (CC BY 4.0), Ch 4 'Fractions', sections 4.1-4.7_
