Grade 4 Comparing and Ordering Fractions Practice Test

Build Grade 4 Math skills with five 10-question practice tests on comparing fractions, ordering fractions, equivalent fractions, benchmarks, and number lines.

Comparing and Ordering Fractions Practice Tests

These Grade 4 Math practice tests help students compare and order fractions. Students use common denominators, common numerators, equivalent fractions, benchmarks such as one half and one whole, and number lines.

Skills covered

  • Comparing fractions with the same denominator
  • Comparing fractions with the same numerator
  • Using equivalent fractions to compare unlike denominators
  • Using 0, one half, and 1 as benchmark fractions
  • Ordering fractions from least to greatest or greatest to least
  • Locating and interpreting fractions on number lines

How to use these practice tests

When denominators match, compare numerators. When numerators match, the fraction with the smaller denominator has larger pieces. For unlike denominators, use equivalent fractions or compare each fraction with a benchmark. A number line can also show which fraction is farther to the right.

1. QuestionMultiple choice

Which fraction is greater: 35\frac{3}{5} or 38\frac{3}{8}?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 35\frac{3}{5}.

  1. Read the fractions: Compare the numerators, denominators, equivalent forms, or positions on a number line.
  2. Choose the relationship: For the same positive numerator, fifths are larger pieces than eighths, so 35\frac{3}{5} is greater.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is 35\frac{3}{5}.

For the same positive numerator, fifths are larger pieces than eighths, so 35\frac{3}{5} is greater.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

Which fraction is greater: 23\frac{2}{3} or 27\frac{2}{7}?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 23\frac{2}{3}.

  1. Read the fractions: Compare the numerators, denominators, equivalent forms, or positions on a number line.
  2. Choose the relationship: With the same numerator, thirds are larger pieces than sevenths.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is 23\frac{2}{3}.

With the same numerator, thirds are larger pieces than sevenths.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

Which fraction is less: 49\frac{4}{9} or 45\frac{4}{5}?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 49\frac{4}{9}.

  1. Read the fractions: Compare the numerators, denominators, equivalent forms, or positions on a number line.
  2. Choose the relationship: With the same numerator, ninths are smaller pieces than fifths, so 49\frac{4}{9} is less.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is 49\frac{4}{9}.

With the same numerator, ninths are smaller pieces than fifths, so 49\frac{4}{9} is less.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

Which fraction is greater: 56\frac{5}{6} or 58\frac{5}{8}?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is 56\frac{5}{6}.

  1. Read the fractions: Compare the numerators, denominators, equivalent forms, or positions on a number line.
  2. Choose the relationship: With the same numerator, sixths are larger pieces than eighths.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is 56\frac{5}{6}.

With the same numerator, sixths are larger pieces than eighths.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

Which fraction is greater: 12\frac{1}{2} or 14\frac{1}{4}?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 12\frac{1}{2}.

  1. Read the fractions: Compare the numerators, denominators, equivalent forms, or positions on a number line.
  2. Choose the relationship: One half is farther from zero than one fourth, so 12\frac{1}{2} is greater.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is 12\frac{1}{2}.

One half is farther from zero than one fourth, so 12\frac{1}{2} is greater.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

Which fraction is less: 310\frac{3}{10} or 34\frac{3}{4}?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 310\frac{3}{10}.

  1. Read the fractions: Compare the numerators, denominators, equivalent forms, or positions on a number line.
  2. Choose the relationship: Tenths are smaller pieces than fourths when the numerators are equal.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is 310\frac{3}{10}.

Tenths are smaller pieces than fourths when the numerators are equal.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

Which fraction is greater: 78\frac{7}{8} or 712\frac{7}{12}?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 78\frac{7}{8}.

  1. Read the fractions: Compare the numerators, denominators, equivalent forms, or positions on a number line.
  2. Choose the relationship: Eighths are larger pieces than twelfths, so 78\frac{7}{8} is greater.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is 78\frac{7}{8}.

Eighths are larger pieces than twelfths, so 78\frac{7}{8} is greater.

Frequently asked questions about Grade 4 Comparing and Ordering Fractions

How do you compare fractions with the same denominator?

Compare the numerators. The fraction with the greater numerator is greater because the pieces are the same size.

How can equivalent fractions help compare fractions?

You can rename fractions with a common denominator, then compare their numerators.
