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 match, so add the numerators: 2/7 + 3/7 = 5/7.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: B
The correct answer is .
Rewrite 1/2 as 4/8, then 5/8 − 4/8 = 1/8.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: C
The correct answer is 1 .
Use twelfths: 3/4 = 9/12 and 2/3 = 8/12; 17/12 = 1 5/12.

Correct answer: D
The correct answer is .
Use thirty-sixths: 7/9 = 28/36 and 5/12 = 15/36, so the difference is 13/36.

Correct answer: A
The correct answer is 1 .
Rewrite 2/3 as 4/6: 4/6 + 5/6 = 9/6 = 1 1/2.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: B
The correct answer is 1 .
Use tenths: 4 2/10 − 2 3/10 requires regrouping, giving 1 9/10.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: C
The correct answer is .
Multiplying both numerator and denominator by 2 gives 3/4 = 6/8.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: D
The correct answer is The denominators must be made common before adding the numerators..
The denominators 2 and 3 name different-size parts, so rewrite the fractions as 3/6 and 2/6 before adding.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: A
The correct answer is .
Subtract 1/4 from 3/4: 3/4 − 1/4 = 2/4 = 1/2.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: B
The correct answer is Use equivalent fractions and a common denominator, combine numerators, then simplify..
Equivalent fractions preserve value while making the parts the same size, so the operation can be completed accurately.
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.
