Question 512 Marks

Find the equivalent fraction of $\frac{6}{11}$ having:
Denominator 77

Answer

Let, $\frac{6}{11}=\frac{\Box}{77}$
Clearly, 77 = 11 × 7
So, we multiply the numerator by 7
$\therefore\frac{6}{11}=\frac{6\times7}{11\times7}=\frac{42}{77}$
$\frac{6}{11}=\frac{42}{77}$
Hence, the required fraction is $\frac{42}{77}$.

Question 522 Marks

Find the sum:
$\frac{4}{15}+\frac{17}{20}$

Answer

We have,
L.C.M. of 15 and 20 = (3 × 5 × 2 × 2) = 60
$\begin{array}{c|c}5&15,20\\\hline3&3,4\\\hline2&1,4\\\hline2&1,2\\\hline&1,1\end{array} $
Therefore,
$\frac{4}{15}+\frac{17}{20}$
$=\frac{(16+51)}{60}$
$\Big(\frac{60}{15}=4,4\times4=16\Big)$
and $\Big(\frac{60}{20}=3,17\times3=51\Big)$
$=\frac{67}{60}$
$=1\frac{7}{60}$

Question 532 Marks

Find the sum:
$1\frac{3}{5}+2\frac{4}{5}$

Answer

The given fractions are like fractions
We know,
Sum of like fractions $=\frac{\text{Sum of the numerators}}{\text{Common denominator}}$
Thus, we have
$1\frac{3}{5}+2\frac{4}{5}$
$=\frac{8}{5}+\frac{14}{5}$
$=\frac{(8+14)}{5}$
$=\frac{22}{5}$
$=4\frac{2}{5}$

Question 542 Marks

Draw number lines and locate the following points:
$\frac{2}{5},\frac{3}{5},\frac{4}{5},\frac{8}{5}$

Answer

Draw 0 to 2 on a number line.
Divide the segment between 0 and 1 into 5 equal parts, where each part is equal to $\frac{1}{5}$.
Show $\frac{2}{5},\frac{3}{5},\frac{4}{5}$ and $\frac{8}{5}$ 3 parts away from 1 towards 2. $\Big(1 <\frac{8}{5} < 2\Big)$

Question 552 Marks

Find the difference:
$4\frac{3}{7}-2\frac{4}{7}$

Answer

Difference of like fractions = Difference of numerator ÷ Common denominator
$4\frac{3}{7}-2\frac{4}{7}$
$=\frac{31}{7}-\frac{18}{7}$
$=\frac{(31-18)}{7}$
$=\frac{13}{7}$

Question 562 Marks

Find the equivalent fraction of $\frac{6}{11}$ having:
Numerator 60

Answer

Let, $\frac{6}{11}=\frac{60}{\Box}$
Clearly, 60 = 6 × 10
So, we multiply the denominator by 10
$\therefore\frac{6}{11}=\frac{6\times10}{11\times10}=\frac{60}{110}$
$\frac{6}{11}=\frac{60}{110}$
Hence, the required fraction is $\frac{60}{110}$.

Question 572 Marks

Find the difference:
$3\frac{5}{8}-2\frac{5}{12}$

Answer

$3\frac{5}{8}-2\frac{5}{12}$
$=\frac{29}{8}-\frac{29}{12}$
L.C.M of 8 and 12 = (2 × 2 × 2 × 3) = 24
$=\frac{(87-58)}{24}$
$=\frac{29}{24}$
$=1\frac{5}{24}$
$\Big(\frac{24}{8}=3,3\times29=87\Big)$
and $\Big(\frac{24}{12}=2,2\times29=58\Big)$

Question 582 Marks

Find the equivalent fraction of $\frac{3}{5}$ having:
Denominator 30

Answer

Let, $\frac{3}{5}=\frac{\Box}{30}$
Clearly, 30 = 5 × 6
So, we multiply the numerator by 6
$\therefore\frac{3}{5}=\frac{3\times6}{5\times6}=\frac{18}{30}$
$\frac{3}{5}=\frac{18}{30}$
Hence, the required fraction is $\frac{18}{30}$.

Question 592 Marks

Convert the following into a mixed fraction:$\frac{101}{8}$

Answer

On dividing 101 by 8,
We get,
Quotient = 12
Remainder = 5
Therefore,
$\frac{101}{8}=12+\frac{5}{8}$
$=12\frac{5}{8}$

Question 632 Marks

Find the sum:
$\frac{7}{12}+\frac{9}{16}$

Answer

L.C.M. of 12 and 16 = (2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3) = 48
$\begin{array}{c|c}2&12,16\\\hline2&6,8\\\hline2&3,4\\\hline2&3,2\\\hline3&3,1\\\hline&1,1\end{array}$
Now, we know:
$\frac{7}{12}=\frac{7\times4}{12\times4}=\frac{28}{48}$
$\frac{9}{16}=\frac{9\times3}{16\times3}=\frac{27}{48}$
Therefore,
$\frac{7}{12}+\frac{9}{16}$
$=\frac{28}{48}+\frac{27}{48}$
$=\frac{(28+27)}{48}$
$=\frac{55}{48}$
$=1\frac{7}{48}$

Question 642 Marks

Find the sum:
$\frac{4}{9}+\frac{8}{9}$

Answer

The given fractions are like fractions
We know,
Sum of like fractions $=\frac{\text{Sum of the numerators}}{\text{Common denominator}}$
Thus, we have
$\frac{4}{9}+\frac{8}{9}$
$=\frac{(4+8)}{9}$
$=\frac{12}{9}$
$=\frac{4}{3}$
$=1\frac{1}{3}$

Question 652 Marks

Find the equivalent fraction of $\frac{56}{70}$ with
Denominator 10

Answer

Let $\frac{56}{70}=\frac{\Box}{10}$
Clearly, 10 = 70 ÷ 7
So, we divide the numerator by 7
$\therefore\frac{56}{70}=\frac{56\div7}{70\div7}=\frac{8}{10}$
$\frac{56}{70}=\frac{8}{10}$
Hence, the required fraction is $\frac{8}{10}$.
