What fraction of a day is passed in 6 hours? Express the fraction in the simplest form. [3 MARKS]
SOLUTION
Solution :Steps: 1 Mark
Fraction: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark
There are 24 hours in a day.
⇒ 6 hours of a day

Question 5
Out of the following fractions which is the smallest and which the greatest? [3 MARKS]
12,34,45,32,63
SOLUTION
Solution :Smallest Fraction: 1 Mark
Greatest Fraction: 1 Mark
Steps: 1 Mark
63=2=21
∴ LCM for the fractions 12,34,45,32,21 is 20
⇒12=1020
⇒34=1520
⇒45=1620
⇒32=3020
⇒21=4020
Now that the denominator is equal, we can compare the fractions. The numerator 40 is the greatest and 10 is the least. Hence, the corresponding original fractions will be the greatest and the least.
∴ Greatest fraction = 63 = 2
Smallest fraction = 12 = 0.5

∴ Fraction of odd numbers = 511
2) Number of prime numbers (2,3,5,7) = 4
∴ Fraction of prime numbers 411
3) Number of even numbers (2,4,6,8,10) = 5
∴ Fraction of even numbers 511
Question 8
(a) Show the fractions 44,24,34 on a number line and simplify.
(b) A 9.85m long rope is divided into 5 equal parts. Find the length of each part. [4 MARKS]
SOLUTION
Solution :Each option: 2 Marks
(a) 44=1
24=12
34 is in its simplest form
Representation of the fractions on the number line is shown below
(b) Length of rope = 9.85m
After dividing the rope into 5 equal parts each part will be 15th of the total part.
⇒15×9.85=9.855=1.97m
Question 9
(a) Nisha had 55 balloons; she gave 46 balloons to Astha. What fraction of the balloons is left with Nisha? If Ashta loses 6 ballons what fraction of balloons in left with her?
(b) Sameera purchased 312 kg apples and 434 kg oranges. What is the total weight of fruits purchased by her?
(c) Solve : 223+312 [4 MARKS]
SOLUTION
Solution :(a) Concept: 1 Mark
Solution: 1 Mark
(b) Solution: 1 Mark
(c) Solution: 1 Mark
(a) Total no of balloons = 55
Balloons left with Nisha = 55 - 46 = 9
Fraction of balloon left = 955
Balloons left with Nisha = 46 - 6 = 40
Fraction of balloon left with Nisha = 4046=2023
(b)The total weight of the fruits = 312+434
= 72+194
= 144+194
= 334
= 814
(c) 223+312=83+72
=8×2+7×36
=16+216
=376
=616
Question 10
(a) Aashu's elder sister divided a watermelon into 6 equal parts and Aarush eats 4 of them. What fraction of watermelon has he eaten hand what fraction is remaining? What is the name given to the fractions obtained?
(b) Suman studies for 523 hours daily. She devotes 245 hours of her time for Science and Mathematics. How much time does she devote for other subjects? [4 MARKS]
SOLUTION
Solution :(a) Solution: 1 Mark
Name: 1 Mark
(b) Concept: 1 Mark
Steps: 1 Mark
(a) No of parts Arush has eaten = 4
Total no of parts = 6
So fraction of parts he has eaten = 46=23
Fraction of watermelon remaining = 1−23=3−23=13
The fractions 23 and 13 are called proper fractions.
(b) Total time of Suman’s study = 523=173 hours
Time devoted by her for Science and Mathematics = 245=145 hours
Thus, time devoted by her for other subjects = 173−145
= 17×515−14×315
= 4315
= 21315
