Question 11.


If 5 of your friends ate one slice each from a medium pizza containing 6 equal slices, what will be the fraction of the pizza left over?


  1.     (56)th
  2.     (36)th
  3.     (16)th
  4.     (46)th
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> (16)th
:
C

Total number of slices = 6
Number of slices ate by friends = 5
So, the fraction of pizza ate by friends = 56
We know that,
Fraction of pizza ate by friends + Fraction of left over pizza = 1
Fraction of left over pizza 
 = 1 - Fraction of pizza ate by friends
=156
=6656
=656
=16


Question 12.


Which of the following fractions lies between 38 and 78 on the number line?


  1.     12
  2.     14
  3.     2016
  4.     98
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 12
:
A

Converting the given fractions into equivalent fractions with denominator 8, we have
1×42×4=48


1×24×2=28
9×18×1=98


20÷216÷2=108
Since 3<4<8, we have 38<48<78
i.e., 38<12<78
Thus, 12 lies between 38 and 78.


Question 13.


553+752 = ____


  1.     1567
  2.     1616
  3.     1476
  4.     1716
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 1616
:
B
553=5×3+53=203 and
752=7×2+52=192
Thus, 553+752=(203+192)
       
                          =20×23×2+19×32×3
                   
                          =40+576
                         
                          =976
                          =1616
Question 14.


Subtract 57 from 137


  1.      1   
  2.     67
  3.     87
  4.     97
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 87
:
C

The fractions having same denominators are called like fractions.
Numerators are subtracted directly keeping the denominator common for like fractions. 
So, 13757=1357            =87


Question 15.


In a zoo, 45 birds out of 150 are migratory. 35 of the total birds are of the Indian origin. Which kind of birds are greater in number in the zoo?


  1.     Migratory birds
  2.     Indian birds
  3.     Both are same in number
  4.     Data Insufficient
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Indian birds
:
B

Fraction of migratory birds =45150=310
Fraction of birds of Indian origin
=35=610 ...(equivalent fractions)
And, we know, 610>310.
The Indian origin birds are greater in number in the zoo.


Question 16.


State whether true or false- Two equivalent fractions can never be like fractions. 


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     1476
  4.     1716
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A

Two equivalent fractions can never have same denominators. And like fractions have same denominators. So, two equivalent fractions can never be like fractions. 


Question 17.


What is the fraction of students who failed in Maths exam if the total number of students who appeared in the exam was 65 and the number of students who passed is 57?


  1.     6557
  2.     857
  3.     5765
  4.     865
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 865
:
D

No. of students failed = 65 - 57 = 8


Fraction of students who failed = 865


Question 18.


A proper fraction is ___.


  1.     a fraction in which the numerator is lesser than the denominator        
  2.     a fraction in which the numerator is greater than the denominator 
  3.     a number that represents part of a whole  
  4.     an integer
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> a fraction in which the numerator is lesser than the denominator        
:
A and C

A proper fraction is a number that represents part of a whole. So, it is a fraction in which the numerator is lesser than the denominator.   


Question 19.


If there are two equivalent fractions, there simplest forms will be __.


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> a fraction in which the numerator is lesser than the denominator        
:

If there are two equivalent fractions, their simplest forms are equal. E.g. 4560 and 1520 are 


equivalent fractions. Both their simplest form is 34.


 


Question 20.


If 99913 is represented in form of ab13, then the values of a and b are:


  1.     a=91 and b=11 
  2.     a=76 and b=11 
  3.     a=72 and b=13
  4.     a=76 and b=13
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> a=76 and b=11 
:
B

We have 99913=761113 
a=76 and b=11
