Grade 3 Fractions on a Number Line Practice Test

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is $\frac{3}{4}$.

1. Read the number-line clue: Identify the interval, tick mark, numerator, denominator, or fraction position described.
2. Use equal parts: On the same number line, a point farther right represents a greater fraction; $\frac{3}{4}$ is farthest right here.
3. Check the choice: The correct choice is $\frac{3}{4}$.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is $\frac{3}{4}$ > $\frac{1}{4}$.

1. Read the number-line clue: Identify the interval, tick mark, numerator, denominator, or fraction position described.
2. Use equal parts: The point for $\frac{3}{4}$ is farther right than the point for $\frac{1}{4}$.
3. Check the choice: The correct choice is $\frac{3}{4}$ > $\frac{1}{4}$.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is $\frac{5}{6}$.

1. Read the number-line clue: Identify the interval, tick mark, numerator, denominator, or fraction position described.
2. Use equal parts: With the same denominator, the larger numerator represents the greater fraction: $\frac{5}{6}$.
3. Check the choice: The correct choice is $\frac{5}{6}$.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is $\frac{1}{3}$.

1. Read the number-line clue: Identify the interval, tick mark, numerator, denominator, or fraction position described.
2. Use equal parts: The point for $\frac{1}{3}$ is between 0 and 1, so it is less than 1.
3. Check the choice: The correct choice is $\frac{1}{3}$.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is $\frac{2}{4}$.

1. Read the number-line clue: Identify the interval, tick mark, numerator, denominator, or fraction position described.
2. Use equal parts: Both $\frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{2}{4}$ mark the halfway point of a whole.
3. Check the choice: The correct choice is $\frac{2}{4}$.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is $\frac{7}{8}$.

1. Read the number-line clue: Identify the interval, tick mark, numerator, denominator, or fraction position described.
2. Use equal parts: All fractions have denominator 8, and $\frac{7}{8}$ has the largest numerator.
3. Check the choice: The correct choice is $\frac{7}{8}$.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is $\frac{1}{5}$.

1. Read the number-line clue: Identify the interval, tick mark, numerator, denominator, or fraction position described.
2. Use equal parts: The point for $\frac{1}{5}$ is closest to 0 because it has the smallest positive numerator with denominator 5.
3. Check the choice: The correct choice is $\frac{1}{5}$.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is $\frac{4}{5}$.

1. Read the number-line clue: Identify the interval, tick mark, numerator, denominator, or fraction position described.
2. Use equal parts: The point for $\frac{4}{5}$ is closest to the endpoint 1.
3. Check the choice: The correct choice is $\frac{4}{5}$.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is $\frac{2}{3}$ = $\frac{2}{3}$.

1. Read the number-line clue: Identify the interval, tick mark, numerator, denominator, or fraction position described.
2. Use equal parts: The same fraction names the same point, so $\frac{2}{3}$ equals $\frac{2}{3}$.
3. Check the choice: The correct choice is $\frac{2}{3}$ = $\frac{2}{3}$.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is $\frac{1}{4}$ < $\frac{3}{4}$.

1. Read the number-line clue: Identify the interval, tick mark, numerator, denominator, or fraction position described.
2. Use equal parts: On the number line, $\frac{1}{4}$ is to the left of $\frac{3}{4}$, so it is less.
3. Check the choice: The correct choice is $\frac{1}{4}$ < $\frac{3}{4}$.
