Ranjana studied for 11 18 hours, whereas her brother Roshan studied for 7 12 hours on a particular day. Who studied for a shorter time? Do you help your brother or sister in studies?

Given, Fraction part of hours studied by Ranjana = 11 18 Fraction part of hours studied by Roshan = 7 12 We now compare the fraction to find the smaller one. To compare the given fractions, we make the denominators same by taking the LCM of 18 and 12 . LCM of 18 and 12 is 36 . Now, 11 18 = 11 × 2 18 × 2 = 22 36 7 12 = 7 × 3 12 × 3 = 21 36 From the above fractions, it is clear that 22 > 21 . That is, 11 18 > 7 12 Hence, Roshan studied for a shorter time. Yes, I do help my brother and sister in studies.

Rohit read 30 pages of a book containing 100 pages. Simmi read 2 5 of the same book. Who read more? How is reading a good habit?

Given, Total number of pages read by Rohit = 30 Fraction part of pages read by Simmi = 2 5 Total number of pages in a book = 100 Now, Number of pages read by Simmi = Fraction × Total number of pages = 2 5 × 100 = 2 × 20 = 40 Number of pages read by Simmi = 40 Clearly, 40 > 30 Hence, Simmi read more number of pages than Rohit. Reading is a good habit as it improves our vocabulary.
