Divide fractions worksheets

Each print is a different sheet with its own answer key. You don't need to sign up.

If a mixed number appears, change it to an improper fraction first. Then ask how many times the second amount fits into the first.

Two grades, each its own sheet. Print one here, or open a grade for examples and teaching notes.

Print by grade

  1. 5th grade

    Examples and teaching notes

    Fifth grade fraction division stays with two cases: a unit fraction divided by a whole number, like 1/3 ÷ 4, and the reverse, like 6 ÷ 1/3. Kids reason it out: how many thirds fit in six wholes, no flip rule yet.

  2. 6th grade Core grade

    Examples and teaching notes

    Each print is a different sheet with its own answer key. You don't need to sign up.

    Sixth grade opens division to proper fractions and mixed numbers. Change mixed numbers to improper fractions first. Then keep the first fraction, change ÷ to ×, and flip the second. So 2/3 ÷ 1/4 becomes 2/3 × 4/1 = 8/3, in simplest form.
