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 order lists 14\frac{1}{4}, 12\frac{1}{2}, and 34\frac{3}{4} from least to greatest?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 14\frac{1}{4}, 12\frac{1}{2}, 34\frac{3}{4}.

  1. Read the fractions: Compare the numerators, denominators, equivalent forms, or positions on a number line.
  2. Choose the relationship: On a number line, 14\frac{1}{4} comes before 12\frac{1}{2}, which comes before 34\frac{3}{4}.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is 14\frac{1}{4}, 12\frac{1}{2}, 34\frac{3}{4}.

On a number line, 14\frac{1}{4} comes before 12\frac{1}{2}, which comes before 34\frac{3}{4}.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 13\frac{1}{3}, 23\frac{2}{3}, 56\frac{5}{6}.

  1. Read the fractions: Compare the numerators, denominators, equivalent forms, or positions on a number line.
  2. Choose the relationship: 13\frac{1}{3} is less than 23\frac{2}{3}, and 56\frac{5}{6} is greatest.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is 13\frac{1}{3}, 23\frac{2}{3}, 56\frac{5}{6}.

13\frac{1}{3} is less than 23\frac{2}{3}, and 56\frac{5}{6} is greatest.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

Which order lists 28\frac{2}{8}, 12\frac{1}{2}, and 34\frac{3}{4} from least to greatest?

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.
