Year 5 · Maths · “Multiplying fractions”

Generated by Studio from a one-line brief and published unedited - nothing in it was rewritten by hand.

Multiplying Fractions

Multiply the numerators and denominators carefully. Simplify each fraction fully and include the correct unit for word problems. Show your working in your exercise book.

Worked example

3/4 × 8 = ___

Rewrite 8 as 8/1: 3/4 × 8/1. Multiply the numerators: 3 × 8 = 24. Multiply the denominators: 4 × 1 = 4. Simplify 24/4 = 6.

Part 1: Multiply a Fraction by a Whole Number

  1. 1.2/5 × 10 = ___
  2. 2.3/8 × 16 = ___
  3. 3.5/6 × 18 = ___
  4. 4.7/12 × 24 = ___

Part 2: Multiply a Fraction by a Fraction

  1. 5.1/3 × 3/4 = ___
  2. 6.2/5 × 3/7 = ___
  3. 7.4/9 × 3/8 = ___
  4. 8.5/6 × 9/10 = ___

Part 3: Apply Multiplication in Context

  1. 9.A jug contains 600 ml of water. A pupil uses 2/5 of the water to fill a bottle. How many millilitres are used?
  2. 10.A ribbon is 3/4 metre long. A craft group uses 2/3 of the ribbon. How many metres of ribbon do they use?
  3. 11.A bag of bird seed costs £4.50. A charity buys 3/5 of a bag. What is the cost of that amount of seed?
  4. 12.A school has 2 1/2 metres of green fabric. The art club uses 3/5 of it for a display. How many metres of fabric are used?

Mark scheme

Every answer carries the working, and the likely mistake where the question has one.

1.

4

  1. Rewrite 10 as 10/1.
  2. Multiply: (2 × 10)/(5 × 1) = 20/5.
  3. Simplify 20/5 = 4.

Common mistake: Pupils sometimes multiply only the denominator, giving 2/50 instead of 4.

2.

6

  1. Rewrite 16 as 16/1.
  2. Multiply: (3 × 16)/(8 × 1) = 48/8.
  3. Simplify 48/8 = 6.

Common mistake: Pupils often forget to simplify 48/8, leaving 48/8 instead of 6.

3.

15

  1. Rewrite 18 as 18/1.
  2. Multiply: (5 × 18)/(6 × 1) = 90/6.
  3. Simplify 90/6 = 15.

Common mistake: Pupils may divide 18 by 5 instead of multiplying, giving 3.6 instead of 15.

4.

14

  1. Rewrite 24 as 24/1.
  2. Multiply: (7 × 24)/(12 × 1) = 168/12.
  3. Simplify 168/12 = 14.

Common mistake: Pupils sometimes use 12 × 24 as the denominator and do not cancel, giving an incorrect fraction instead of 14.

5.

1/4

  1. Multiply the numerators: 1 × 3 = 3.
  2. Multiply the denominators: 3 × 4 = 12, giving 3/12.
  3. Simplify 3/12 by dividing by 3: 1/4.

Common mistake: Pupils often add the fractions, giving 13/12 instead of 1/4.

6.

6/35

  1. Multiply the numerators: 2 × 3 = 6.
  2. Multiply the denominators: 5 × 7 = 35.
  3. The fraction 6/35 is already in its simplest form.

Common mistake: Pupils may multiply across the denominators incorrectly, giving 6/12 instead of 6/35.

7.

1/6

  1. Multiply: (4 × 3)/(9 × 8) = 12/72.
  2. Divide the numerator and denominator by 12: 12 ÷ 12 = 1 and 72 ÷ 12 = 6.
  3. The simplified answer is 1/6.

Common mistake: Pupils often cancel only one pair of numbers and give 3/18 instead of 1/6.

8.

3/4

  1. Multiply: (5 × 9)/(6 × 10) = 45/60.
  2. Divide both parts by 15: 45 ÷ 15 = 3 and 60 ÷ 15 = 4.
  3. The simplified answer is 3/4.

Common mistake: Pupils sometimes simplify 45/60 by dividing only the numerator, giving 3/60 instead of 3/4.

9.

240 ml

  1. Find 2/5 of 600 ml: 2/5 × 600.
  2. Calculate 600 ÷ 5 = 120 ml, then 120 × 2 = 240 ml.
  3. Write the answer with the unit: 240 ml.

Common mistake: Pupils may calculate 600 ÷ 2 × 5 and give 1,500 ml, reversing the fraction's numerator and denominator.

10.

1/2 metre

  1. Multiply the fractions: 2/3 × 3/4 = 6/12 metre.
  2. Simplify 6/12 by dividing both parts by 6.
  3. The group uses 1/2 metre.

Common mistake: Pupils often add 2/3 and 3/4, giving 17/12 metre instead of 1/2 metre.

11.

£2.70

  1. Find 3/5 of £4.50: 3/5 × £4.50.
  2. Calculate £4.50 ÷ 5 = £0.90, then £0.90 × 3 = £2.70.
  3. Write the cost as £2.70.

Common mistake: Pupils may find 2/5 instead of 3/5 and give £1.80, using the unused part of the bag.

12.

1 1/2 metres

  1. Convert 2 1/2 to an improper fraction: 2 1/2 = 5/2.
  2. Multiply: 3/5 × 5/2 = 15/10.
  3. Simplify 15/10 to 3/2, then convert back: 3/2 = 1 1/2 metres.

Common mistake: Pupils may multiply the whole and fractional parts separately and give 2 3/10 metres instead of 1 1/2 metres.

This is what it prints

The same resource as the PDF download - the colour, the frame and the layout an HTML version cannot show you.

  • Worksheet

    Still framed and rounded, but a tighter grid and more items to the page.

  • Mark scheme

    Year 5 · Maths

    Every answer carries its working and the mistake pupils usually make, under the same indigo Mark scheme banner - down to the fraction a word problem's answer gets reversed into.

What is in every worksheet

A worked example before question one

The solved problem at the top of the sample. A pupil who was absent, or who has forgotten the method, has something to work from before they reach the first question - and it is the part teachers most often add by hand.

A mark scheme that shows the working

Every answer above carries the steps that lead to it, not just the result. That makes the mark scheme usable for marking, for handing to a cover teacher, or for giving to a pupil checking their own work.

The likely mistake, flagged

Where a question has a predictable wrong turn, the mark scheme names it - the sample warns that anyone who forgets to simplify 48/8 will leave it as 48/8 rather than 6. It is the difference between knowing a pupil got it wrong and knowing why.

Two copies, one generation

A pupil copy to hand out and a mark scheme to mark from, both linked above. Same worksheet, printed two ways.

How it works

  1. 1

    Pick the year group and subject

    16 year groups from Nursery to further and higher education, across 16 subjects including English, Maths, Science, Geography, History and Modern Foreign Languages.

  2. 2

    Describe the topic

    A sentence is enough - the sample above came from “multiplying fractions” and nothing else. Add a curriculum reference, a length, or what your class has already covered, and the worksheet is written around them.

  3. 3

    Print it, or start from your own material

    Output is a branded PDF. You can also upload a PDF, paste a YouTube link or record a lesson and have the questions drawn from that instead, with a link back to the source.

Differentiation and accommodations

Set difficulty to mixed and a single worksheet becomes a progression: the first third scaffolded for pupils working towards the standard, the middle third at the expected standard, the last third pitched at greater depth - all assessing the same skill, so the class is still doing one lesson. For a mixed-ability class that needs three different sheets, Differentiated Worksheets generates three coordinated versions of the same skill at once. Separately from level, you can apply EAL support, SEND support, or a read-aloud version: access and difficulty are different problems and are set independently.

Questions

Does the worksheet come with a mark scheme?
Yes, and you can read the whole thing above. Each answer shows the two to four steps that lead to it rather than only the final value, and flags the common mistake where the question has one. The pupil copy and the mark scheme download as separate PDFs.
Can I make a worksheet from my own materials?
Yes. Upload a PDF, paste a YouTube link or record a lesson, and the questions are drawn from that content with a link back to the source, so anything you want to confirm is one click away.
Can I get different levels for the same class?
Two ways. Set difficulty to mixed for one worksheet that runs from scaffolded to greater depth across its sections, or use Differentiated Worksheets for three separate versions of the same skill pitched at three levels - use that when you want to hand different pupils different sheets.
How accurate are the answers?
Every generated worksheet goes through a second pass that re-works each item and corrects the mark scheme before you see it, so most come out ready to print. AI can make mistakes, so read it over before the lesson - which is exactly why the full sample above is on this page instead of a screenshot of one.
Is it free?
Every account gets 2 free generations, with no card. Beyond that it is included with a Teachit subscription - the same subscription that unlocks Teachit's other resources, not a separate one. Almost everything costs one generation; Differentiated Worksheets is the exception, at one per level.
