Grade 6 Dividing Fractions Practice Test

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is $6$.

1. Identify the dividend and divisor: Read the division situation carefully and keep the units or labels attached to the quantities.
2. Use the reciprocal: Convert $1\frac{1}{2}$ to $\frac{3}{2}$, then $\frac{3}{2} \times 4 = 6$.
3. Check by multiplication: Multiply the quotient by the divisor to confirm that the dividend is recovered.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is $2$.

1. Identify the dividend and divisor: Read the division situation carefully and keep the units or labels attached to the quantities.
2. Use the reciprocal: Convert to improper fractions: $\frac{8}{3} \div \frac{4}{3} = \frac{8}{3} \times \frac{3}{4} = 2$.
3. Check by multiplication: Multiply the quotient by the divisor to confirm that the dividend is recovered.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is $2\frac{1}{2}$.

1. Identify the dividend and divisor: Read the division situation carefully and keep the units or labels attached to the quantities.
2. Use the reciprocal: $\frac{15}{4} \div \frac{3}{2} = \frac{15}{4} \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{5}{2} = 2\frac{1}{2}$.
3. Check by multiplication: Multiply the quotient by the divisor to confirm that the dividend is recovered.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is $3$.

1. Identify the dividend and divisor: Read the division situation carefully and keep the units or labels attached to the quantities.
2. Use the reciprocal: $\frac{21}{5} \div \frac{7}{5} = \frac{21}{5} \times \frac{5}{7} = 3$.
3. Check by multiplication: Multiply the quotient by the divisor to confirm that the dividend is recovered.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is $6$.

1. Identify the dividend and divisor: Read the division situation carefully and keep the units or labels attached to the quantities.
2. Use the reciprocal: $2\frac{1}{4} = \frac{9}{4}$, and $\frac{9}{4} \times \frac{8}{3} = 6$.
3. Check by multiplication: Multiply the quotient by the divisor to confirm that the dividend is recovered.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is $2$.

1. Identify the dividend and divisor: Read the division situation carefully and keep the units or labels attached to the quantities.
2. Use the reciprocal: $\frac{16}{3} \div \frac{8}{3} = \frac{16}{3} \times \frac{3}{8} = 2$.
3. Check by multiplication: Multiply the quotient by the divisor to confirm that the dividend is recovered.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is $4$.

1. Identify the dividend and divisor: Read the division situation carefully and keep the units or labels attached to the quantities.
2. Use the reciprocal: $\frac{7}{2} \times \frac{8}{7} = 4$.
3. Check by multiplication: Multiply the quotient by the divisor to confirm that the dividend is recovered.
