Answer

1. $\frac{4}{5}$ Explanation: 4/5, 5/6 , 5/3 , 5/2 lcm of denominator(5,6,3,2)=30
  $\frac{4}{5}, \frac{5}{6}, \frac{5}{3}, \frac{5}{2} = \frac{24, 25, 50, 75}{30}$ smaller fraction = $\frac{24}{30}$ i.e $\frac{4}{5}$
1. $1 \frac{7}{9}$ Explanation: $16 \div 9$ quotient is 1 which is a whole number and remainder is 7 which is a numerator of a proper fraction and denominator of proper fraction is 9 so mixed fraction = $1 \frac{7}{9}$
1. $\frac{3}{4}$ Explanation: 1 hour = 60 minutes $\frac{45}{60} = \frac{45 \div 15}{60 \div 15} = \frac{3}{4}$
1. >
  Explanation: denominator is 101 so $\frac{17}{101} > \frac{12}{101}$
1. $\frac{10}{16}$ Explanation: Total part = 16, shaded part = 10
  Fraction = $\frac{10}{16}$
1. $\to$ (iv)
  4 parts are shaded out of 5 parts.
  Therefore, the shaded portion = $\frac{4}{5}$
2. $\to$ (i)
  5 parts are shaded out of 9 parts.
  Therefore, the shaded portion = $\frac{5}{9}$
3. $\to$ (ii)
  3 parts are shaded out of 6 parts.
  Therefore, the shaded portion = $\frac{3}{6} = \frac{3 \div 3}{6 \div 3} = \frac{1}{2}$
4. $\to$ (iii)
  1 part is shaded out of 3 parts.
  Therefore, the shaded portion = $\frac{1}{3}$
1. 18
  $\frac{1}{2}$ of 36 boxes
  = $\frac{1}{2} \times$ 36 = $\frac{36}{2}$ = 18 boxes.
2. 24
  $\frac{2}{3}$ of 36 boxes
  = $\frac{2}{3} \times$ 36 = $\frac{2 \times 36}{3}$ = 2 x 12 = 24 boxes.
3. $\frac{5}{9}$
  If a bench is made with 20 boxes out of 36 boxes, the fraction
  = $\frac{20}{36} = \frac{20 \div 4}{36 \div 4} = \frac{5}{9}$
4. 30
  Let $x$ boxes out of 36 boxes makes fraction $\frac{5}{6}$
  i.e., $\frac{x}{36} = \frac{5}{6}$
  $x = \frac{5}{6} \times 36 = \frac{5 \times 36}{6}$ = 5 x 6 = 30.
  Therefore, 30 boxes makes the fraction $\frac{5}{6}$
1. True
  In the fraction, $\frac{3}{7}$ , numerator is 3 and denominator is 7, which means that a unit has been divided into 7 equal parts out of which 3 parts have been taken into account.
2. True
  All positive fractions are greater than zero and lies to the right of zero.
3. False
  When denominators are same in two fractions, the fraction with the greater numerator is greater than the other fraction.
  Here, in the frations $\frac{2}{5} a n d \frac{1}{5}$ , denominators are same and in the numerators 2 and 1, 2 is greater than 1.
  So, $\frac{2}{5} > \frac{1}{5}$
4. False
  In the fractions, $\frac{28}{45}$ and $\frac{3}{5}$ comparing their cross products,
  $28 \times 5 = 140$ and $45 \times 3 = 135$ , we observe that they are not equal.
  Hence, $\frac{28}{45}$ and $\frac{3}{5}$ are not equivalent fractions.
$\frac{16}{5} - \frac{7}{5} = \frac{16 - 7}{5} = \frac{9}{5} = 1 \frac{4}{5}$
$\frac{3}{4}$ means 3 parts out of 4 parts.
So, colour 3 parts out of 4 parts given.
$\frac{3}{5} = \frac{3 \times 9}{5 \times 9} = \frac{27}{45}$
1. $\frac{8}{6} =$ $\frac{8 \div 2}{6 \div 2} = \frac{4}{3}$
2. $\frac{44}{72} =$ $\frac{44 \div 2}{72 \div 2} = \frac{22 \div 2}{36 \div 2} = \frac{11}{18}$
$\frac{19}{6}$ = 19 $\div$ 6

$∴$ $\frac{19}{6} = 3 \frac{1}{6}$
$\frac{10}{10}$ is 1 whole, which can be shown by the point 1.
Fraction in standard form Numerator Denominator Diagrammatic Representation
$\frac{6}{7}$ 84 $98$
$\frac{5}{6}$ 5 6
$\frac{9}{5} = 1 \frac{4}{5}$ $18$ 10
a. $\frac{6}{7}$ = $\frac{6 \times 14}{7 \times 14} = \frac{84}{98}$ b. $\frac{5}{6} = \frac{5 \times 1}{6 \times 1} = \frac{5}{6}$ c. $\frac{9}{5} = \frac{9 \times 2}{5 \times 2} = \frac{18}{10}$
