Worked practice questions

In a fraction, what does the numerator represent?

  1. How many parts are counted
  2. How many equal parts make a whole
  3. The overall size of the whole
  4. What remains after dividing
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. How many parts are counted

1. A fraction has a numerator on top and a denominator on the bottom. 2. The denominator tells how many equal parts the whole is divided into. 3. The numerator represents how many parts are included, that is, how many parts are counted. 4. The overall size of the whole and what remains after dividing describe different ideas entirely, not the role of the numerator. _Source: OpenStax Prealgebra (CC BY 4.0), Ch 4 "Fractions", section 4.1 Visualize Fractions_

What is a mixed number made up of?

  1. Two whole numbers added
  2. A whole number and a fraction
  3. Two unlike fractions
  4. A numerator and a remainder
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. A whole number and a fraction

1. Consider the number 1 3/5, which combines a whole part and a fractional part. 2. This kind of number has a whole-number part written next to a fraction. 3. A mixed number consists of a whole number and a fraction. 4. It is not two whole numbers, two fractions, or a numerator paired with a remainder, since those combinations describe different kinds of numbers. _Source: OpenStax Prealgebra (CC BY 4.0), Ch 4 "Fractions", section 4.1 Visualize Fractions_

A fraction is called improper when which of the following is true?

  1. The numerator is less than the denominator
  2. The denominator is exactly double the numerator
  3. The numerator is at least the denominator
  4. The numerator and denominator share no factor
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. The numerator is at least the denominator

1. A proper fraction has a numerator smaller than its denominator, such as 1/2. 2. An improper fraction is the opposite case. 3. The fraction a/b is an improper fraction when a is greater than or equal to b, which means the numerator is at least the denominator. 4. Being exactly double is only one special case rather than the general rule, and sharing no common factor describes a simplified fraction, not an improper one. _Source: OpenStax Prealgebra (CC BY 4.0), Ch 4 "Fractions", section 4.1 Visualize Fractions_
