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.

Identify the error, if any. This is 1 2

Given, In the above figure, there are two portions in which one portion is shaded. But, the fraction of the shaded part is not 1 2 , because the two portions are not equal in area. For fraction portion to be determined from the figures, the divisions should be equal in area. Hence, the error is that the fraction part of the shaded part is not 1 2 .

Identify the error, if any. This is 1 4

The given figure is, In the above figure, there are four portions in which one portion is shaded. But, the fraction of the shaded part is not 1 4 , because all the portions are not equal in area. For fraction portion to be determined from the figures, the divisions should be equal in area. Hence, the error is that the fraction part of the shaded portion is not 1 4 .

Identify the error, if any. This is 3 4

Given figure, In the above figure, there are four portions in which three portions are shaded. But, the fraction of the shaded part is not 3 4 , because all the portions are not equal in area. For fraction portion to be determined from the figures, the divisions should be equal in area. Hence, the error is that the fraction part of the shaded portion is not 3 4 .
