This math worksheet practices finding a fraction of a number. Students divide by the denominator to find one part, then multiply by the numerator: 1/4 of 24 = 6, so 3/4 of 24 = 18. Some problems ask for one part only, some lead through both steps, and some ask for the answer in one go. Every answer is a whole number.
