Fractions

1.) Write the proper number in the box.

 (1) 1/2  =  10 /20

When the numerator and denominator of a fraction are multiplied by the same non-zero number, we get a fraction that is equivalent to the given fraction.

We must find the right number for the box.

Here, if we multiply numerator 1 with 2, we get the denominator (1× 2) = 2

So, the half of the denominator 20 will be the numerator  (numerator × 2 = denominator)

Dividing 20 by 2, (20 2) = 10.

So the numerator will be 10.

Hence, the fraction 10/20 with numerator 10 is equivalent to ½

 (2) ¾ = 15/ 20

We must find the right number for the box.

Here, 5 times the numerator 3 is (3 ×  5) = 15.

Hence  five times the numerator 4 will be the denominator,

So,  5 × 4 = 20

The denominator will be 20

Hence the fraction 15/20 with denominator 20 is equivalent to ¾.

(3) 9/11 = 18/ 22

Hence  2 times the numerator 9 is 18,

So, the 2 times denominator of 11 is (2 11) = 22

Hence, the fraction 18/22 with denominator 22 is equivalent to 9/11.

(4) 10/40 =  ? /8

If the numerator and denominator have a common divisor then the fraction we get on dividing them by that divisor is equivalent to the given fraction.

We must find the number for the box.

40 divided by 5 is 8.

So, we will get the number for the box by dividing 10 by 5. 10 ÷ 5 = 2.

Therefore,

10/40 = 2/8

Thus, the fraction 2/8 is equivalent to the fraction 10/40.

(5) 14/26 = ?/13

26 divided by 2 is 13.

So dividing 14 by 2 will give us the numerator,

(14 ÷ 2) = 7

Therefore, 14/26 = 7/13

(6) ?/3 = 4/6

2 times the denominator 3 is 6.

So, dividing 4 by 2 will give us the numerator,

(4÷2) = 2

Therefore, 2/3 = 4/6.

(7) 1/? = 4/20

4 times the numerator 1 is 4.

So, dividing 20 by 4 will give us the numerator,

(20÷4) = 5

Therefore, 1/5 = 4/20.

(8) ?/5 = 10/25

5 times the denominator 5 is 25.

So, dividing 10 by 5 will give us the numerator,

(10÷5) = 2

Therefore, 2/5 = 10/25

2.) Find an equivalent fraction with denominator 18, for each of the following fractions.

When the numerator and denominator of a fraction are multiplied by the same non-zero number, we get a fraction that is equivalent to the given fraction.

In ½ fraction,

9 times the denominator 2 is 18,

So, the 9 times numerator of 1 is (9× 1) = 9

Therefore ½ =9/18

In fraction 2/3,

6 times the denominator 3 is 18,

So, the 6 times numerator of 2 is (6×2) = 12

Therefore ½ =12/18

In fraction 4/6,

3 times the denominator 6 is 18,

So, the 3 times numerator of 4 is (3×4) = 12

Therefore ½ =12/18

In fraction 2/9,

2 times the denominator 9 is 18,

So, the 2 times numerator of 2 is (2×2) = 4

Therefore ½ =4/18

In fraction 7/9,

7/9 =14/18

In fraction 5/3,

5/3= 30/18

3.) Find an equivalent fraction with denominator 5, for each of the following fractions.

If the numerator and denominator have a common divisor then the fraction we get on dividing them by that divisor is equivalent to the given fraction.

In fraction 6/15,

15 divided by 3 is 5.

So, we will get the numerator of equivalent fraction by dividing 6 by 3. (6 ÷ 3) = 2.

Therefore 6/15= 2/5

In fraction 10/25,

25 divided by 5 is 5.

So, we will get the numerator of equivalent fraction by dividing 10 by 5. (10 ÷ 5) = 2.

Therefore 10/25= 2/5

In fraction 12/30,

30 divided by 6 is 5.

So, we will get the numerator of equivalent fraction by dividing 12 by 6. (12 ÷ 6) = 2.

Therefore 12/30= 2/5

In fraction 6/10, the equivalent fraction is 3/5

In fraction 21/35, the equivalent fraction is 3/5

4.) From the fractions given below, pair off the equivalent fractions.

2/3 = 18/27

the numerator and denominator of a fraction are multiplied by the same non-zero number, which is 9. (9×2) = 18/(9×3) = 27

5/7 = 10/14

the numerator and denominator of a fraction are multiplied by the same non-zero number, which is 2. (5×2) = 10/(2×7) = 14

5/11  = 15/33

the numerator and denominator of a fraction are multiplied by the same non-zero number, which is 3. (3×5) = 15/(3×11) = 33

7/9 = 14/18

the numerator and denominator of a fraction are multiplied by the same non-zero number, which is 2. (7×2) = 14/(9×2) = 18

5.) Find two equivalent fractions for of the following fractions.

7/9 = 14/18 (multiplying with both numerator and denominator with 2)

= 21/27 (multiplying with both numerator and denominator with 3)

4/5 = 8/10, 12/15

3/11 = 6/22, 18/66

PROBLEM SET 18

When adding like fractions, we add the numerators of the two fractions and write the denominator as it is.

So, 7/12+2/12 = 7+2/12 = 9/12

They have a common divisor, which is 3.

So we can also write it as, 9÷3/12÷3 = ¾

(4) 2/9+7/9

When adding like fractions, we add the numerators of the two fractions and write the denominator as it is.

So, 2/9+7/9 = 2+7/9 =9/9

If the numerator and denominator of a fraction are equal, the fraction is equal to one.

Therefore,  9/9 = 1

(5) 3/15+4/15 = 3+4/15 = 7/15

If the numerator and denominator of a fraction are equal, the fraction is equal to one.

Therefore, 8/8 = 1

2.) Mother gave 3/8 of one guava to Meena and 2/8 of the guava to Geeta. What part of the guava did she give them altogether ?

Mother gave Meena 3/8 of one guava

Mother gave Geeta got 2/8 of one guava

So total part she gave them = 3/8+2/8 = 3+2/8 = 5/8

Answer = 5/8 part of the guava she gave them altogether.

3.) The girls of Std V cleaned 3/4 of a field while the boys cleaned 1/4 . What part of the field was cleaned altogether ?

Girls cleaned ¾ parts of field

Boys cleaned ¼ parts of field

Total part of field was cleaned = ¾ + ¼ = 3+1/4 = 4/4

the numerator and denominator of a fraction are equal, the fraction is equal to one.

Therefore, 4/4 = 1

Answer =  total field was cleaned.
