Grade 5 Math · Fraction Division: Introduction
Build Grade 5 Math skills with five 10-question practice tests introducing fraction division, reciprocals, division by whole numbers and fractions, mixed numbers, and real-world problems.
These Grade 5 Math practice tests introduce division with fractions. Students practice dividing fractions by whole numbers, dividing whole numbers by fractions, using reciprocals, converting mixed numbers, simplifying quotients, and solving sharing and measurement problems.
Ask what the quotient represents. Then rewrite division as multiplication by the reciprocal of the divisor, simplify before or after multiplying, and check the size of the result with a model or estimate.

Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: A
The correct answer is .
The divisor is 2/5 because 3/5 ÷ 2/5 = 3/5 × 5/2 = 3/2.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: B
The correct answer is Interpret the groups, multiply by the divisor’s reciprocal, simplify, and check the quotient..
Using the reciprocal connects the division situation to multiplication and makes the quotient easier to verify.
Multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor. For example, divide by 2/3 by multiplying by 3/2.
It can represent how many groups of the divisor fit in the dividend, such as how many one-half servings fit in a total amount.
