Everyday Equivalent Fractions Quiz

• 1 time

• 2 times

• 3 times

• 4 times

Answer explanation

To get \frac{1}{2} cup of sugar using a \frac{1}{4} cup, you need to fill the \frac{1}{4} cup twice. Each fill gives you \frac{1}{4} cup, and 2 fills make \frac{1}{2} cup, which is the correct amount.

You have a pizza that is cut into 8 equal slices. If you eat 2 slices, what fraction of the pizza have you eaten?

Answer explanation

You have 8 slices in total. Eating 2 slices means you have eaten 2 out of 8 slices. The fraction is \( \frac{2}{8} \), which simplifies to \( \frac{1}{4} \). Therefore, you have eaten \( \frac{1}{4} \) of the pizza.

You are sharing a pizza equally among 4 friends. If the pizza is cut into 12 slices, how many slices does each friend get?

• 2 slices

• 3 slices

• 4 slices

• 6 slices

Answer explanation

To find out how many slices each friend gets, divide the total slices (12) by the number of friends (4). 12 ÷ 4 = 3. Therefore, each friend gets 3 slices.

• 2 times

• 3 times

• 4 times

• 5 times

Answer explanation

To get \frac{3}{4} cup of flour using a \frac{1}{4} cup, you need to fill the smaller cup 3 times: \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4}. Therefore, the correct answer is 3 times.

Answer explanation

To find the size of each section, divide the total area of the garden plot, \(\frac{1}{2}\) acre, by 4. \(\frac{1}{2} \div 4 = \frac{1}{8}\). Thus, each section is \(\frac{1}{8}\) of an acre.

• Both are the same length

• Cannot be determined

Answer explanation

To compare the lengths, convert both fractions to a common denominator. The length of the first ribbon is \(\frac{3}{4} = \frac{6}{8}\) and the second is \(\frac{1}{2} = \frac{4}{8}\). Thus, \(\frac{3}{4}\) meter is longer.

• 5 pieces

• 6 pieces

• 7 pieces

• 8 pieces

Answer explanation

To find the number of pieces, divide the total length of the ribbon by the length of each piece: \( \frac{5}{6} \div \frac{1}{6} = 5 \). Thus, you have 5 pieces.

• Both use the same amount

• Cannot be determined

Answer explanation

To compare the two amounts, convert them to a common denominator. The fractions are \(\frac{2}{3} = \frac{8}{12}\) and \(\frac{3}{4} = \frac{9}{12}\). Since \(\frac{9}{12} > \frac{8}{12}\), the recipe with \(\frac{3}{4}\) cup of milk uses more.

You have a pizza that is cut into 10 slices. If you want to share it equally among 5 people, how many slices does each person get?

• 1 slice

• 2 slices

• 3 slices

• 4 slices

Answer explanation

To share 10 slices among 5 people equally, divide 10 by 5. Each person gets 10 ÷ 5 = 2 slices. Therefore, the correct answer is 2 slices.
