Question 5: What do we call fractions that look different but have the same value?
- Mixed numbers
- Equivalent fractions
- Unit fractions
- Whole fractions
Answer: B. Equivalent fractions
Explanation: Equivalent fractions are different fractions that represent the exact same portion of a whole, even though their numerators and denominators are written using different numbers.
Question 6: How can you find an equivalent fraction?
- Multiplying numerator and denominator by the same number
- Adding 2 to both
- Subtracting 1 from both
- Dividing only the numerator
Answer: A. Multiplying numerator and denominator by the same number
Explanation: You can create equivalent fractions by multiplying or dividing both the numerator and the denominator by the same non-zero number.
Question 7: What is 1/2 equivalent to?
- 2/3
- 1/3
- 2/4
- 3/4
Answer: C. 2/4
Explanation: When you multiply both the top number and the bottom number of one-half by two, you create the fraction two-fourths, which represents the same total value.
Question 8: What is a mixed number?
- A whole number and a fraction
- A fraction with a 1 on top
- Two fractions added together
- A fraction with a 0 on bottom
Answer: A. A whole number and a fraction

Question 9: When adding fractions with like denominators, what happens to the denominator?
- It is multiplied
- It is divided
- It is added
- It stays the same
Answer: D. It stays the same
Explanation: When adding two fractions that share the same denominator, you only add the top numbers together while the bottom number remains exactly the same throughout the process.
Question 10: Multiplying a fraction by 2/2 is the same as multiplying by what?
- 2
- 1
- 0
- 1/2
Answer: B. 1
