Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 4.56 Compare Fractions Using Benchmark Fractions skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
A final challenge compares 17/30 and 9/16. Both are above 1/2. Which fraction is greater?
A9/16 is greater because it has the larger denominator
BThe fractions are equal because both are fractions
CThe benchmark 1/2 cannot be used to compare them
D17/30 is greater because it is farther above 1/2
Solution & Explanation:Both fractions are greater than 1/2. 17/30 is 1/15 above 1/2, and 9/16 is 1/16 above 1/2. Since 1/15 is the larger amount above 1/2, 17/30 is greater.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
Which student gives the correct benchmark explanation for 13/22 and 7/12?
AStudent Zoe is correct: 7/12 is greater because it has more denominator parts
BStudent Nia is correct: the fractions are equal because neither is a whole number
CStudent Dia is correct: 13/22 is greater because it is farther above 1/2
DStudent Max is correct: a benchmark cannot help with this pair
Solution & Explanation:Both fractions are greater than 1/2. 13/22 is 1/11 above 1/2, and 7/12 is 1/12 above 1/2. Since 1/11 is the larger amount above 1/2, 13/22 is greater.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
A fraction bar pair shows 11/18 and 3/5 above 1/2. Which shaded amount is greater?
A11/18 shaded
B3/5 shaded
CBoth amounts are equal
DThe amounts cannot be compared
Solution & Explanation:Both fractions are greater than 1/2. 11/18 is 1/9 above 1/2, and 3/5 is 1/10 above 1/2. Since 1/9 is the larger amount above 1/2, 11/18 is greater.
