Use a nested ViewGroup: 

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context="com.example.helloworld.MainActivity" >
<TextView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:text="@string/fractions"
    android:textSize="30sp" />
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<RadioGroup
    android:alignParentRight = "true"
    android:id="@+id/fractions"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal" >
    <RadioButton
        android:id="@+id/fraction_true"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:checked="true"
        android:paddingRight="15dip"
        android:text="@string/fraction_true"
        android:textSize="30sp"
        android:gravity="right"
        android:textStyle="bold" />

    <RadioButton
        android:id="@+id/fraction_false"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:paddingRight="15dip"
        android:text="@string/fraction_false"
        android:textSize="30sp" />
</RadioGroup>
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>

Use weight sum technique for layouts, so that the controls in your each line consumes the assigned percentage of space ( there won't be any need to put them in Grid or other UI Controls)
