Fraction word prob.
Here you will learn about fraction word problems, including solving math word problems within a real-world context involving adding fractions, subtracting fractions, multiplying fractions, and dividing fractions.
Students will first learn about fraction word problems as part of number and operations—fractions in 4 th grade.
Fraction word problems are math word problems involving fractions that require students to use problem-solving skills within the context of a real-world situation.
To solve a fraction word problem, you must understand the context of the word problem, what the unknown information is, and what operation is needed to solve it. Fraction word problems may require addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division of fractions.
After determining what operation is needed to solve the problem, you can apply the rules of adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing fractions to find the solution.
For example,
Natalie is baking 2 different batches of cookies. One batch needs \cfrac{3}{4} cup of sugar and the other batch needs \cfrac{2}{4} cup of sugar. How much sugar is needed to bake both batches of cookies?
You can follow these steps to solve the problem:

How does this relate to 4 th grade math to 6 th grade math?
Use this quiz to check your grade 4 to 6 students’ understanding of fraction operations. 10+ questions with answers covering a range of 4th to 6th grade fraction operations topics to identify areas of strength and support!
In order to solve fraction word problems:
Determine what operation is needed to solve.
Write an equation.
Solve the equation.
State your answer in a sentence.
Example 1: adding fractions (like denominators).
Julia ate \cfrac{3}{8} of a pizza and her brother ate \cfrac{2}{8} of the same pizza. How much of the pizza did they eat altogether?
The problem states how much pizza Julia ate and how much her brother ate. You need to find how much pizza Julia and her brother ate altogether , which means you need to add.
2 Write an equation.
3 Solve the equation.
To add fractions with like denominators, add the numerators and keep the denominators the same.
4 State your answer in a sentence.
The last step is to go back to the word problem and write a sentence to clearly say what the solution represents in the context of the problem.
Julia and her brother ate \cfrac{5}{8} of the pizza altogether.
Tim ran \cfrac{5}{6} of a mile in the morning and \cfrac{1}{3} of a mile in the afternoon. How far did Tim run in total?
The problem states how far Tim ran in the morning and how far he ran in the afternoon. You need to find how far Tim ran in total , which means you need to add.
To add fractions with unlike denominators, first find a common denominator and then change the fractions accordingly before adding.
\cfrac{5}{6}+\cfrac{1}{3}= \, ?
The least common multiple of 6 and 3 is 6, so 6 can be the common denominator.
That means \cfrac{1}{3} will need to be changed so that its denominator is 6. To do this, multiply the numerator and the denominator by 2.
\cfrac{1 \times 2}{3 \times 2}=\cfrac{2}{6}
Now you can add the fractions and simplify the answer.
\cfrac{5}{6}+\cfrac{2}{6}=\cfrac{7}{6}=1 \cfrac{1}{6}
Tim ran a total of 1 \cfrac{1}{6} miles.
Pia walked \cfrac{4}{7} of a mile to the park and \cfrac{3}{7} of a mile back home. How much farther did she walk to the park than back home?
The problem states how far Pia walked to the park and how far she walked home. Since you need to find the difference ( how much farther ) between the two distances, you need to subtract.
To subtract fractions with like denominators, subtract the numerators and keep the denominators the same.
\cfrac{4}{7}-\cfrac{3}{7}=\cfrac{1}{7}
Pia walked \cfrac{1}{7} of a mile farther to the park than back home.
Henry bought \cfrac{7}{8} pound of beef from the grocery store. He used \cfrac{1}{3} of a pound of beef to make a hamburger. How much of the beef does he have left?
The problem states how much beef Henry started with and how much he used. Since you need to find how much he has left , you need to subtract.
To subtract fractions with unlike denominators, first find a common denominator and then change the fractions accordingly before subtracting.
\cfrac{7}{8}-\cfrac{1}{3}= \, ?
The least common multiple of 8 and 3 is 24, so 24 can be the common denominator.
That means both fractions will need to be changed so that their denominator is 24.
To do this, multiply the numerator and the denominator of each fraction by the same number so that it results in a denominator of 24. This will give you an equivalent fraction for each fraction in the problem.
\begin{aligned}&\cfrac{7 \times 3}{8 \times 3}=\cfrac{21}{24} \\\\ &\cfrac{1 \times 8}{3 \times 8}=\cfrac{8}{24} \end{aligned}
Now you can subtract the fractions.
\cfrac{21}{24}-\cfrac{8}{24}=\cfrac{13}{24}
Henry has \cfrac{13}{24} of a pound of beef left.
Andre has \cfrac{3}{4} of a candy bar left. He gives \cfrac{1}{2} of the remaining bit of the candy bar to his sister. What fraction of the whole candy bar does Andre have left now?
It could be challenging to determine the operation needed for this problem; many students may automatically assume it is subtraction since you need to find how much of the candy bar is left.
However, since you know Andre started with a fraction of the candy bar and you need to find a fraction OF a fraction, you need to multiply.
The difference here is that Andre did NOT give his sister \cfrac{1}{2} of the candy bar, but he gave her \cfrac{1}{2} of \cfrac{3}{4} of a candy bar.
To solve the word problem, you can ask, “What is \cfrac{1}{2} of \cfrac{3}{4}? ” and set up the equation accordingly. Think of the multiplication sign as meaning “of.”
\cfrac{1}{2} \times \cfrac{3}{4}= \, ?
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators.
\cfrac{1}{2} \times \cfrac{3}{4}=\cfrac{3}{8}
Andre gave \cfrac{1}{2} of \cfrac{3}{4} of a candy bar to his sister, which means he has \cfrac{1}{2} of \cfrac{3}{4} left. Therefore, Andre has \cfrac{3}{8} of the whole candy bar left.
Nia has \cfrac{7}{8} cup of trail mix. How many \cfrac{1}{4} cup servings can she make?
The problem states the total amount of trail mix Nia has and asks how many servings can be made from it.
To solve, you need to divide the total amount of trail mix (which is \cfrac{7}{8} cup) by the amount in each serving ( \cfrac{1}{4} cup) to find out how many servings she can make.
To divide fractions, multiply the dividend by the reciprocal of the divisor.
\begin{aligned}& \cfrac{7}{8} \div \cfrac{1}{4}= \, ? \\\\ & \downarrow \downarrow \downarrow \\\\ &\cfrac{7}{8} \times \cfrac{4}{1}=\cfrac{28}{8} \end{aligned}
You can simplify \cfrac{28}{8} to \cfrac{7}{2} and then 3 \cfrac{1}{2}.
Nia can make 3 \cfrac{1}{2} cup servings.
1. Malia spent \cfrac{5}{6} of an hour studying for a math test. Then she spent \cfrac{1}{3} of an hour reading. How much longer did she spend studying for her math test than reading?
Malia spent \cfrac{1}{2} of an hour longer studying for her math test than reading.
Malia spent \cfrac{5}{18} of an hour longer studying for her math test than reading.
Malia spent \cfrac{1}{2} of an hour longer reading than studying for her math test.
Malia spent 1 \cfrac{1}{6} of an hour longer studying for her math test than reading.
To find the difference between the amount of time Malia spent studying for her math test than reading, you need to subtract. Since the fractions have unlike denominators, you need to find a common denominator first.
You can use 6 as the common denominator, so \cfrac{1}{3} becomes \cfrac{3}{6}. Then you can subtract.
\cfrac{3}{6} can then be simplified to \cfrac{1}{2}.
Finally, you need to choose the answer that correctly answers the question within the context of the situation. Therefore, the correct answer is “Malia spent \cfrac{1}{2} of an hour longer studying for her math test than reading.”
2. A square garden is \cfrac{3}{4} of a meter wide and \cfrac{8}{9} of a meter long. What is its area?
The area of the garden is 1\cfrac{23}{36} square meters.
The area of the garden is \cfrac{27}{32} square meters.
The area of the garden is \cfrac{2}{3} square meters.
The perimeter of the garden is \cfrac{2}{3} meters.
To find the area of a square, you multiply the length and width. So to solve, you multiply the fractional lengths by mulitplying the numerators and multiplying the denominators.
\cfrac{24}{36} can be simplified to \cfrac{2}{3}.
Therefore, the correct answer is “The area of the garden is \cfrac{2}{3} square meters.”
3. Zoe ate \cfrac{3}{8} of a small cake. Liam ate \cfrac{1}{8} of the same cake. How much more of the cake did Zoe eat than Liam?
Zoe ate \cfrac{3}{64} more of the cake than Liam.
Zoe ate \cfrac{1}{4} more of the cake than Liam.
Zoe ate \cfrac{1}{8} more of the cake than Liam.
Liam ate \cfrac{1}{4} more of the cake than Zoe.
To find how much more cake Zoe ate than Liam, you subtract. Since the fractions have the same denominator, you subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same.
\cfrac{2}{8} can be simplified to \cfrac{1}{4}.
Therefore, the correct answer is “Zoe ate \cfrac{1}{4} more of the cake than Liam.”
4. Lila poured \cfrac{11}{12} cup of pineapple and \cfrac{2}{3} cup of mango juice in a bottle. How many cups of juice did she pour into the bottle altogether?
Lila poured 1 \cfrac{7}{12} cups of juice in the bottle altogether.
Lila poured \cfrac{1}{4} cups of juice in the bottle altogether.
Lila poured \cfrac{11}{18} cups of juice in the bottle altogether.
Lila poured 1 \cfrac{3}{8} cups of juice in the bottle altogether.
To find the total amount of juice that Lila poured into the bottle, you need to add. Since the fractions have unlike denominators, you need to find a common denominator first.
You can use 12 as the common denominator, so \cfrac{2}{3} becomes \cfrac{8}{12}. Then you can add.
\cfrac{19}{12} can be simplified to 1 \cfrac{7}{12}.
Therefore, the correct answer is “Lila poured 1 \cfrac{7}{12} cups of juice in the bottle altogether.”
5. Killian used \cfrac{9}{10} of a gallon of paint to paint his living room and \cfrac{7}{10} of a gallon to paint his bedroom. How much paint did Killian use in all?
Killian used \cfrac{2}{10} gallons of paint in all.
Killian used \cfrac{1}{5} gallons of paint in all.
Killian used \cfrac{63}{100} gallons of paint in all.
Killian used 1 \cfrac{3}{5} gallons of paint in all.
To find the total amount of paint Killian used, you add the amount he used for the living room and the amount he used for the kitchen. Since the fractions have the same denominator, you add the numerators and keep the denominators the same.
\cfrac{16}{10} can be simplified to 1 \cfrac{6}{10} and then further simplified to 1 \cfrac{3}{5}.
Therefore, the correct answer is “Killian used 1 \cfrac{3}{5} gallons of paint in all.”
6. Evan pours \cfrac{4}{5} of a liter of orange juice evenly among some cups.
He put \cfrac{1}{10} of a liter into each cup. How many cups did Evan fill?
Evan filled \cfrac{2}{25} cups.
Evan filled 8 cups.
Evan filled \cfrac{9}{10} cups.
Evan filled 7 cups.
To find the number of cups Evan filled, you need to divide the total amount of orange juice by the amount being poured into each cup. To divide fractions, you mulitply the first fraction (the dividend) by the reciprocal of the second fraction (the divisor).
\cfrac{40}{5} can be simplifed to 8.
Therefore, the correct answer is “Evan filled 8 cups.”
Fraction word problems are math word problems involving fractions that require students to use problem-solving skills within the context of a real-world situation. Fraction word problems may involve addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division of fractions.
To solve fraction word problems, first you need to determine the operation. Then you can write an equation and solve the equation based on the arithmetic rules for that operation.
Fraction word problems and decimal word problems are similar because they both involve solving math problems within real-world contexts. Both types of problems require understanding the problem, determining the operation needed to solve it (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division), and solving it based on the arithmetic rules for that operation.

Welcome to the addition worksheets page at Math-Drills.com where we will add to your learning experience in many positive ways! On this page, you will find Addition worksheets from addition facts and two-digit addition to column addition and addition with games. In the first section, we've included a few addition printables that should help out the beginning student. Teaching addition facts is best done with some interesting teaching strategies.
Some teachers and parents use addition manipulatives to help students understand the basic addition facts. For example, adding groups of "Apple Jacks" (a breakfast cereal) by counting will quickly lead students to understand the concepts of addition. The sooner you can introduce base ten blocks to your students, the better. If you haven't already used them for counting, use them for basic addition and show students how regrouping works.
Disputably not a great way to learn addition facts, but undeniably a great way to summarize, addition facts tables are an invaluable resource in any home or school classroom. Addition works very well as a table since the addends can be sequential. Encourage students to look for patterns and teach them a variety of strategies to learn the addition facts. For students who have not yet memorized their addition facts but need to know them for a more advanced math lesson such as adding two-digit numbers, provide an addition facts table to them, so they can quickly look up addition facts. After a while, they will most likely learn the facts through the use of the table and become less reliant on it. To make the tables more durable, print them on card stock and laminate them. They can be displayed on a screen or enlarged and printed on poster paper for whole class use.
Five minute frenzy charts are 10 by 10 grids for addition fact practice. In each square, students write the sum of the column number and the row number.
Called mad minutes or timed drills by some, five minute frenzies are meant to be timed to add a little more excitement to practicing addition facts. They are ideally used to increase a student's ability to recall addition facts quickly which has all sorts of benefits later in their school life including preventing high school teachers from complaining about "how their students can't even add single-digit numbers without using a calculator."
A general goal to achieve would be to complete one chart in less than five minutes and score 98 percent or better, however, we recommend setting personal goals for students based on an initial test. If they are banging their head against the wall after a couple of minutes with only a few questions done, they really shouldn't be completing a timed addition facts drill at the moment. They still have some learning to do. We would recommend breaking out the manipulatives at this point. If they blast through the questions in 1.5 minutes and get almost all of them correct, they are probably ready for something a little more challenging.
One-per-page addition frenzies are not the most efficient use of paper resources, but they are a good starting point especially for younger students who have not quite mastered their penmanship enough to fit their numbers into a smaller chart. They are also great for displaying on screens or monitors for group activities. For example, you might use an interactive white board to fill out the chart.
A wiser use of paper and photo-copy limits, having four charts on a page allows for multi-day practice, collaborative work or through the use of a paper-cutter, a quick stack of practice pages for students who finish early.
Most people would agree that being able to add single-digit numbers quickly and in your head is an essential skill for success in math. The various addition worksheets in this section focus on skills that students will use their entire life. These worksheets will not magically make a student learn addition, but they are valuable for reinforcement and practice and can also be used as assessment tools.
The make ten addition strategy involves "spliting" the second addend into two parts. The first part combines with the first addend to make ten and the second part is the leftover amount. The strategy helps students quickly add amounts over ten in their head. For example, adding 8 + 7, students first recognize that they need to add 2 to 8 to get 10, so they split the 7 into 2 + 5. The 8 + 2 makes 10 and 5 more makes 15. The skill can be extended to many situations, for example adding 24 + 9, students recognize that they need 6 more to get to 30 and 9 can be split into 6 + 3, so 24 + 6 = 30 and 3 more makes 33. Continuing on, students can work on recognizing "complements" of other important numbers (see section further down) to develop this strategy further.
Focusing on one number at a time is necessary for some students. Maybe they get overwhelmed with too much information and need to experience success in small steps.
A variety of strategies can be used to learn multi-digit addition; it isn't necessary to rely only on paper and pencil methods. Base ten blocks can help students conceptualize addition. Teaching students a mental left-to-right addition skill will help them in future math studies and life in general. E.g. 34 + 78 would be 30 + 70 = 100, 100 + 4 = 104, 104 + 8 = 112. Don't forget about using estimation with these worksheets.
Regrouping is what long addition is all about; these worksheets give students a lot of practice since every step requires regrouping.
If you haven't quite mastered all the addition facts or the long addition algorithm, these might be the worksheets for you. These worksheets don't require any regrouping, so they provide an extra in-between skill for students who require a little more guidance.
Horizontal addition can encourage students to use mental math or other strategies to add numbers. One of the most common mental math strategies for addition is a left-to-right (also called front end) addition strategy. This involves adding the greater place values first. Other strategies for adding multi-digit numbers include using base ten blocks or other manipulatives, number lines, decomposing numbers and adding the parts, and using a calculator.
Using a comma to separate thousands is the most common way to format large numbers in the English world.
Using a space to separate thousands in large numbers is common in some languages. In the English world, you will most likely find Canadians formatting their numbers in this way.
Using a period as a thousands separator is not generally seen in English-speaking countries, but since there are people from around the world who use these addition worksheets, they are included.
For various reasons, sometimes you need addition questions in a larger font. These should fit the bill.
Adding with grid support helps students who have trouble lining up place values themselves. Perhaps with a little practice, they might get a better understanding of not only lining up the place values, but why this is done. Pointing out that the 5 in 659 means 50, for example, is useful in helping students understand place value as it relates to addition.
Column addition is not just an exercise in accounting, it also develops mental addition skills that are useful in everyday life. Various strategies are available for adding columns of numbers. The traditional method is to use a pencil and paper approach, also known as right-to-left addition, where students add and regroup starting with the smallest place (ones in this case) and proceed up to the greatest place. A mental approach might involve students going from left-to-right where the greater place is added first. This is easier to keep track of in your head, but does require the occasional adjustment in previous answers. An example is to add 345 + 678 + 901. First add the 300, 600 and 900 to get 1800, then add 40, 70 and 0 in turn to get 1910, then deal with the 5, 8 and 1 to get 1924. Along the way you had to adjust your total, but keeping a running total in your head is a lot easier than transfering a pencil and paper method into your head.
Games help students develop mental addition skills but in a fun context. For the adding with playing cards worksheets, a Jack is counted as 11, a Queen as 12, a King as 13 and an Ace as 1. Playing math games while enjoying some social time with their friends is a great way to develop strategic thinking and math fluency in children.
Finding complements of numbers can help students a great deal in developing mental arithmetic skills and to further their understanding of number.
Using an adding doubles strategy can help students to process addition questions more quickly using mental math. To use this strategy, students must recognize that the two numbers are close to the same value (usually by one or two). They also must recognize by how much and whether it is greater or less than the first addend. A typical dialogue with the question, 15 + 16, might be, "I see that the second number is greater than the first number by 1. If I double the first number and add 1, I will get my answer. 15 doubled is 30 plus one is 31. 15 + 16, therefore, is 31."
Not commonly taught in modern schools, adding in other base number systems can stretch students' minds and have quite a few important applications, especially in technology. For example, you will find binary, octal and hexadecimal systems are quite often used in computer technology. Quaternary numbers can be used in genetics to store DNA sequences. The duodecimal system is sometimes suggested as a superior system to the decimal system
