Question 6.


Out of the following fractions which is the smallest and which the greatest? [3 MARKS]
12,34,45,32,63


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

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


Question 7.

:

(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

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]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

(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 = 123=323=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 = 173145
= 17×51514×315
4315
= 21315
