Grade 5 Math · Fraction Addition and Subtraction
Build Grade 5 Math skills with five 10-question practice tests on adding and subtracting fractions, common denominators, equivalent fractions, mixed numbers, simplification, and real-world problems.
These Grade 5 Math practice tests help students add and subtract fractions accurately. Students practice common denominators, equivalent fractions, simplifying results, mixed numbers, estimation, and real-world measurement problems.
Read the denominators first. If they differ, find a common denominator and rewrite each fraction before combining the numerators. Simplify the final answer and label units in measurement problems.

A 10-question Grade 5 Math practice test on adding and subtracting fractions, common denominators, equivalent fractions, mixed numbers, simplification, and word problems.
Find a common denominator when needed, combine the numerators, simplify the result, and use estimation or a model to check your answer.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: A
The correct answer is .
The denominators already match, so add the numerators: 3/8 + 2/8 = 5/8.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: B
The correct answer is .
Subtract to get 4/10, then simplify by dividing the numerator and denominator by 2: 4/10 = 2/5.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: C
The correct answer is .
Rewrite 1/4 as 2/8, then add 2/8 + 3/8 = 5/8.

Correct answer: D
The correct answer is .
Rewrite 1/3 as 2/6, then 5/6 − 2/6 = 3/6 = 1/2.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: A
The correct answer is .
Rewrite 2/5 as 4/10, then 4/10 + 1/10 = 5/10 = 1/2.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: B
The correct answer is .
Rewrite 3/4 as 6/8, then subtract 1/8: 6/8 − 1/8 = 5/8.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: C
The correct answer is Rewrite the fractions with a common denominator..
A common denominator lets the fractions represent equal-size parts before the numerators are combined.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: D
The correct answer is 4.
Add the whole numbers and fractional parts: 2 1/3 + 1 2/3 = 3 + 3/3 = 4.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: A
The correct answer is .
The least common denominator is 12: 1/3 = 4/12 and 1/4 = 3/12, so the sum is 7/12.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: B
The correct answer is Keep the denominator and add or subtract the numerators..
The denominator names the size of the parts, so it stays the same while the numerators are combined.
No. Use a common denominator, then add or subtract the numerators while keeping the denominator.
Equivalent fractions keep the same value while expressing the parts with a common denominator, which makes unlike fractions easier to combine.
