Use this page when you want dividing fractions worksheets in the next thirty seconds: choose how many problems you want, press print, and the answer key comes out on its own page behind the worksheet. The version loaded below opens with items in the shape of 4/6 ÷ 8/9 and 3/9 ÷ 4/7; the key lists 3/4 and 7/12 next to their question numbers.
‘New set of problems’ opens the generator in its own tab. There you can change the problem count and turn the answer key on or off. ‘Print or save as PDF’ opens the print dialog — choose Save as PDF in the printer list to keep the file. The sheet fits US Letter and A4, and the answer key prints on its own page.
The reason is this: dividing asks how many of the second fraction fit into the first. Because the second is smaller than one, more of them fit and the answer comes out larger, which is the part of 3/9 ÷ 4/7 that surprises children.
Estimation still applies: dividing by something less than one makes the result bigger, so if 3/9 ÷ 4/7 came out smaller than the fraction it started from, something went wrong.
Only the second fraction is flipped. Writing the multiplication out fully before calculating stops the most common error on this page.
Dividing by a fraction means multiplying by its reciprocal, which is why 4/6 ÷ 8/9 works out to 3/4. The rule is short, and the reason behind it is worth one conversation before the drilling starts.
Teachers usually place dividing fractions worksheets alongside the fraction division expectations for grade 6, which is where the skill sits in the majority of US state frameworks.
| # | Problem | Answer | What to check |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 4/6 ÷ 8/9 = | 3/4 | Watch for: mishandling a whole-number divisor |
| 2 | 3/9 ÷ 4/7 = | 7/12 | Check: expecting a smaller answer |
| 3 | 5/8 ÷ 4/6 = | 15/16 | Look at: flipping the first fraction |
| 4 | 8/9 ÷ 1/3 = | 8/3 | Ask about: cancelling before flipping |
| 5 | 1/3 ÷ 1/5 = | 5/3 | Watch for: forgetting to change the sign to multiplication |
| 6 | 2/3 ÷ 5/7 = | 14/15 | Check: leaving the answer unsimplified |
The item 3/9 ÷ 4/7 is worth doing slowly. The answer to 3/9 ÷ 4/7 is 7/12, and the route to it is the route every other problem on this sheet takes — which is why the sheet has 20 of them rather than one.
Take the first problem on the sheet as it stands, 4/6 ÷ 8/9. Work 4/6 ÷ 8/9 out on paper rather than in your head the first few times, say each step aloud, and check the result against 3/4 on the key before moving on.
Keys are produced by the same code that produces the questions, so a mismatch between question and answer is not possible on these sheets.
Answers appear next to their question numbers, so a wrong item like 3/9 ÷ 4/7 can be found in the key in a second and re-worked while it is still fresh.
For a class set, print one sheet, press the new-worksheet button and print again. Each child gets different numbers on the same skill, so nobody can copy the answer to 4/6 ÷ 8/9 from a neighbour.
The sheet is laid out to fit one page on both US Letter and A4. Leave the browser scaling at 100% and turn headers and footers off, and the 20 problems land inside the margins on either paper size.
Print a sheet of dividing fractions worksheets, run it for 10 minutes, mark it together, and come back tomorrow for a different set of numbers on the same skill.
