Q.34 The following fractions represent just three different numbers. Separate them into three groups of equivalent fractions, by changing each one to its simplest form.

$\begin{array}{l}\left(\mathrm{a}\right)\frac{2}{12}\left(\mathrm{b}\right)\frac{3}{15}\left(\mathrm{c}\right)\frac{8}{50}\\ \left(\mathrm{d}\right)\frac{16}{100}\left(\mathrm{e}\right)\frac{10}{60}\left(\mathrm{f}\right)\frac{15}{75}\\ \left(\mathrm{g}\right)\frac{12}{60}\left(\mathrm{h}\right)\frac{16}{96}\left(\mathrm{i}\right)\frac{12}{75}\\ \left(\mathrm{j}\right)\frac{12}{72}\left(\mathrm{k}\right)\frac{3}{18}\left(\mathrm{l}\right)\frac{4}{25}\end{array}$

Ans-

$\begin{array}{l}\left(\mathrm{a}\right)\frac{2}{12}=\frac{1\times 2}{6\times 2}=\frac{1}{6}\left(\mathrm{b}\right)\frac{3}{15}=\frac{1\times 3}{5\times 3}=\frac{1}{5}\left(\mathrm{c}\right)\frac{8}{50}=\frac{4\times 2}{25\times 2}=\frac{4}{25}\\ \left(\mathrm{d}\right)\frac{16}{100}=\frac{4\times 4}{25\times 4}=\frac{4}{25}\left(\mathrm{e}\right)\frac{10}{60}=\frac{1\times 10}{6\times 10}=\frac{1}{6}\left(\mathrm{f}\right)\frac{15}{75}=\frac{1\times 15}{5\times 15}=\frac{1}{5}\\ \left(\mathrm{g}\right)\frac{12}{60}=\frac{1\times 12}{5\times 12}=\frac{1}{5}\left(\mathrm{h}\right)\frac{16}{96}=\frac{1\times 16}{6\times 16}=\frac{1}{6}\left(\mathrm{i}\right)\frac{12}{75}=\frac{3\times 4}{3\times 25}=\frac{4}{25}\\ \left(\mathrm{j}\right)\frac{12}{72}=\frac{1\times 12}{6\times 12}=\frac{1}{6}\left(\mathrm{k}\right)\frac{3}{18}=\frac{1\times 3}{6\times 3}=\frac{1}{6}\left(\mathrm{l}\right)\frac{4}{25}=\frac{1\times 4}{1\times 25}=\frac{4}{25}\end{array}$

Q.35 Find answers to the following. Write and indicate how you solved them.

$\begin{array}{l}\left(\mathrm{a}\right)\mathrm{Is}\frac{5}{9}\mathrm{equal}\mathrm{to}\frac{4}{5}?\end{array}$ $$\begin{gathered} \begin{array}{l} \\ \left(\mathrm{b}\right)\mathrm{Is}\frac{9}{16}\mathrm{equal}\mathrm{to}\frac{5}{9}?\end{array} \end{gathered}$$ $\begin{array}{l}\left(\mathrm{c}\right)\mathrm{Is}\frac{4}{5}\mathrm{equal}\mathrm{to}\frac{16}{20}?\end{array}$ $$\begin{gathered} \begin{array}{l} \\ \left(\mathrm{d}\right)\mathrm{Is}\frac{1}{15}\mathrm{equal}\mathrm{to}\frac{4}{30}?\end{array} \end{gathered}$$

Ans-

(a) Let us convert both the fractions into like fractions.

$\begin{array}{l}\frac{5}{9}\text{and}\frac{4}{5}\\ \frac{5\times 5}{9\times 5}\text{and}\frac{4\times 9}{5\times 9}\\ \frac{25}{45}\text{and}\frac{36}{45}\\ \text{Since, 25 < 36}\text{. So,}\frac{5}{9}<\frac{4}{5}.\end{array}$

The fractions are not equal.
(b)
Let us convert both the fractions into like fractions.

$\begin{array}{l}\frac{9}{16}\text{and}\frac{5}{9}\\ \frac{9\times 9}{16\times 9}\text{and}\frac{5\times 16}{16\times 9}\\ \frac{81}{144}\text{and}\frac{80}{144}\\ \text{Since, 81>80}\text{. So,}\frac{9}{16}>\frac{5}{9}.\end{array}$

The fractions are not equal.
(c)
Let us convert both the fractions into like fractions.

\begin{array}{l}\frac{16}{20}\text{and}\frac{4}{5}\\ \frac{16}{20}\text{and}\frac{4\times 4}{5\times 4}\\ \frac{16}{20}\text{and}\frac{16}{20}\\ \text{Since, 16 = 16}\text{. So,}\frac{16}{20}=\frac{4}{5}.\end{array}

The fractions are equal.
(d)
Let us convert both the fractions into like fractions.

$\begin{array}{l}\frac{1}{15}\text{and}\frac{4}{30}\\ \frac{1\times 2}{15\times 2}\text{and}\frac{4}{30}\\ \frac{2}{30}\text{and}\frac{4}{30}\\ \text{Since, 2 < 4}\text{. So,}\frac{1}{15}<\frac{4}{30}.\end{array}$

Q.36  Ila read 25 pages of a book containing 100 pages. Lalita read

$\frac{2}{5}$

of the same book. Who read less?

Ans-

Pages read by Ila = 25

Fraction of pages read by Ila =

$\frac{25}{100}=\frac{1}{4}$

Fraction of pages read by Lalita =

$\frac{2}{5}$

Comparing both the fractions :

$\begin{array}{l}\frac{1}{4}\text{and}\frac{2}{5}\\ \frac{1\times 5}{4\times 5}\text{and}\frac{2\times 4}{4\times 5}\\ \frac{5}{20}\text{and}\frac{8}{20}\\ \text{Since, 5 < 8}\text{.}\\ \end{array}$

So, Ila read less.

Rafiq exercised for

$\frac{3}{6}$

of an hour, while Rohit exercised for

$\frac{3}{4}$

of an hour. Who exercised for a longer time?

Ans-

Rafiq exercised for

$\frac{3}{6}$

of an hour
Rohit exercised for

$\frac{3}{4}$

of an hour
Comparing both the fractions :
Since, numerator of both the fractions are same and denominators 4 < 6.
So, Rohit exercised longer.

In a class A of 25 students, 20 passed in first class. In another class B of 30 students, 24 passes in first class. In which class was a greater fraction of students getting first class?

Ans-

Fraction of students of class A who passed in first class =

$\frac{20}{25}=\frac{4}{5}$

Fraction of students of class B who passed in first class =

$\frac{24}{30}=\frac{4}{5}$

So, equal fraction of students got first class.

Write these fractions appropriately as additions or subtractions :

Answer

Solve :

$\begin{array}{l}\left(\text{a}\right)\frac{\text{1}}{\text{18}}\text{+}\frac{\text{1}}{\text{18}}\\ \left(\text{b}\right)\frac{\text{8}}{\text{15}}\text{+}\frac{\text{3}}{\text{15}}\\ \left(\mathrm{c}\right)\frac{7}{5}-\frac{7}{5}\\ \left(\mathrm{d}\right)\frac{1}{22}+\frac{21}{22}\\ \left(\mathrm{e}\right)\frac{12}{15}-\frac{7}{15}\\ \left(\mathrm{f}\right)\frac{5}{8}+\frac{3}{8}\\ \left(\mathrm{g}\right)1-\frac{2}{3}\left(1=\frac{3}{3}\right)\\ \left(\mathrm{h}\right)\frac{1}{4}+\frac{0}{4}\\ \left(\mathrm{i}\right)3-\frac{12}{5}\end{array}$
