Ila read 25 pages of a book containing 100 pages. Lalita read 1 2 of the same book. Who read less?

Given, Lalita read 1 2 t h part of book. Ila reads 25 pages out of 100 pages, Fraction of the pages Ila reads = 25 100 = 25 ÷ 5 100 ÷ 5 = 5 ÷ 5 20 ÷ 5 = 1 4 So, Ila read 1 4 th part of the book. We have to find out who read less, Since the denominators are different, we need to make the denominators same by finding their common denominator. L.C.M of 2 , 4 = 2 × 2 = 4 Now, 1 2 = 1 × 2 2 × 2 = 2 4 1 4 = 1 × 1 4 × 1 = 1 4 Since 1 4 < 2 4 Therefore, 1 4 < 1 2 Hence, Ila read less than Lalita.

Rafiq exercised for 3 6 of an hour, while Rohit exercised for 3 4 of an hour. Who exercised for a longer time?

Given, Rafiq exercised 3 6 of an hour. Rohit exercised 3 4 of an hour. Now, we have to compare these fractions to see who exercised for a longer time. So, since the denominators are different, we need to make the denominators same by finding their common denominator. 2 6 , 4 2 3 , 2 3 3 , 1 1 , 1 L.C.M of 6 , 4 = 2 × 2 × 3 = 12 Now, 3 6 = 3 × 2 6 × 2 = 6 12 3 4 = 3 × 3 4 × 3 = 9 12 Since 6 12 < 9 12 ⟹ 3 6 < 3 4 Therefore, Rohit exercised for a longer time than Rafiq.

Mother asked Neelu and her brother to pick stones from the wheat. Neelu picked 1 4 th of the stones and her brother also picked up 1 4 th of the stones. What fraction of the stones did both pick up together?

Neelu picked stones = 1 4 Brother picked up the stones = 1 4 The total fraction of the stones they both pick up together = 1 4 + 1 4 = 2 4 of total stones. Hence, the total stones both picked up = 1 2 .

Sohan was making a table. He made 1 4 th of the table by Monday. He made another 1 4 th on Tuesday and the remaining on Wednesday. What fraction of the table was made on Wednesday?

Given, Sohan made 1 4 th of table on Monday Sohan made 1 4 th of table on Tuesday And the remaining on Wednesday. Thus, the fraction of the table he put on Wednesday = 1 - 1 4 + 1 4 = 1 - 2 4 = 1 - 1 2 = 1 2 Hence, the fraction of table Sohan made on Wednesday is 1 2 .

Add with the help of diagram. 1 8 + 1 8

Given, 1 8 + 1 8 We see that these are like fractions (fractions with same denominator) So, we obtain, = 1 8 + 1 8 = 2 8 = 1 8 + 1 8 = 1 4 Here, the numerator represents the number of parts to be shaded. The denominator represents the number of equal parts into which the whole figure has been divided. Therefore, the given fraction = N u m b e r o f p a r t s t h a t a r e s h a d e d T o t a l n u m b er o f e q u a l p a r t s Hence, the required answer is 1 4 .

Add with the help of diagram. 2 5 + 3 5

Given, 2 5 + 3 5 We see that these are like fractions (fractions with same denominator) So, we obtain, = 2 5 + 3 5 = 5 5 Here, the numerator represents the number of parts to be shaded. The denominator represents the number of equal parts into which the whole figure has been divided. Therefore, the given fraction = N u m b e r o f p a r t s t h a t a r e s h a d e d T o t a l n u m b er o f e q u a l p a r t s Hence, the required answer is 5 5 = 1 .

Add with the help of diagram. 1 12 + 1 12 + 1 12

Given, 1 12 + 1 12 + 1 12 We see that these are like fractions (fractions with same denominator) So, we obtain, = 1 12 + 1 12 + 1 12 = 3 12 Here, the numerator represents the number of parts to be shaded. The denominator represents the number of equal parts into which the whole figure has been divided. Therefore, the given fraction = N u m b e r o f p a r t s t h a t a r e s h a d e d T o t a l n u m b er o f e q u a l p a r t s Hence, the required answer is 3 12 .
