The big fish weighs 1 2 kg . The small one weighs 1 4 . Together they weigh _____ kg.

Weight of a big fish = 1 2 kg Weight of a small fish = 1 4 kg We need to find the weight of both fishes Weight of both fishes = 1 2 + 1 4 Since both fractions are unlike fractions, we need find the LCM of denominators LCM( 2 , 4 ) = 4 ⇒ 1 2 + 1 4 = 3 4 Hence, the weight of both fishes is 3 4 kg

By dividing the whole chikki into 6 equal parts in different ways, we get 1 6 chikki pieces of different shapes. Are they of the same size?

If the chikki is divided into 6 equal parts, the size of each piece, in terms of area, is the same. Even though the pieces may have different shapes, the size (or area) of each piece will be equal because each piece represents 1 6 of the whole chikki. Yes, the pieces are of the same size (in terms of area), even though they may have different shapes. Each piece is 1 6 of the total chikki, ensuring that they are equal in size.
