Remember
- Equivalent fractions name the same amount and sit at the same point on a number line.
- Next, multiply or divide the numerator and denominator by the same number to make an equivalent fraction.
- Multiplying by 2/2, 3/3 or any n/n is multiplying by 1, so the value stays the same.
- Tenths change to hundredths by multiplying by 10, so 3/10 = 30/100.
- Adding the same number to the top and bottom does not make an equivalent fraction.
Common mistakes with this 4th grade equivalent fractions quiz
- Students pick the fraction that looks close to the original. Instead, test each choice by finding the multiplier from the denominators.
- Students write 9 over 100 instead of 90 over 100 for nine tenths. Also, multiply both parts by 10, not just the denominator.
- Students blame the wrong numbers when a classmate adds to both parts. The real mistake is adding instead of multiplying by the same number.
- Students count the wrong number of scoops. Instead, rename the amount in the scoop’s unit before you count.
Tips to get a high score
- Find the multiplier first. Divide the new denominator by the old one, then apply the same number to the numerator.
- If you are stuck, sketch a strip. Finally, seeing the shaded parts line up or not can settle the question in seconds.
- Teachers can use the error question as an example of an error analysis task and have students write a correction.

4th grade equivalent fractions quiz: frequently asked questions
How do you find a fraction equivalent to one half?
Multiply the top and bottom by the same number. Also, using 2 gives two fourths, using 3 gives three sixths, and using 4 gives four eighths. Every fraction in this family has a numerator that is exactly half of its denominator.
How do you rewrite two tenths as hundredths?
Multiply the top and bottom by 10. Two times 10 is 20, and 10 times 10 is 100, so two tenths equals twenty hundredths. This helps with decimals, since twenty hundredths is 0.20, which equals 0.2.
How many scoops of one eighth cup make one half cup?
Rename one half in eighths: multiply both parts by 4 to get four eighths. Four scoops of one eighth cup make one half cup. A number line marked in eighths shows the same thing.
