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.

  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is They finished the same amount..

46\frac{4}{6} simplifies to 23\frac{2}{3}, so the amounts are equal.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

Which amount is greatest: 14\frac{1}{4} of a tank, 23\frac{2}{3} of a tank, or 35\frac{3}{5} of a tank?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

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: 23\frac{2}{3} is greater than 35\frac{3}{5} and 14\frac{1}{4}.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is 23\frac{2}{3}.

23\frac{2}{3} is greater than 35\frac{3}{5} and 14\frac{1}{4}.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

A trail marker shows 68\frac{6}{8} mile. Which simpler fraction names the same distance?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 34\frac{3}{4}.

  1. Read the fractions: Compare the numerators, denominators, equivalent forms, or positions on a number line.
  2. Choose the relationship: Divide numerator and denominator by 2: 68\frac{6}{8} = 34\frac{3}{4}.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is 34\frac{3}{4}.

Divide numerator and denominator by 2: 68\frac{6}{8} = 34\frac{3}{4}.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is Tuesday.

  1. Read the fractions: Compare the numerators, denominators, equivalent forms, or positions on a number line.
  2. Choose the relationship: The denominators match, and 7 tenths is greater than 4 tenths.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is Tuesday.

The denominators match, and 7 tenths is greater than 4 tenths.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

Which fraction is closest to 1?

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: 7 eighths is only 1 eighth away from 1, so it is closest.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is 78\frac{7}{8}.

7 eighths is only 1 eighth away from 1, so it is closest.
