How many 1/8s make 1/2?
If a shape is divided into 8 equal parts, each part is 1/8. When I take 4 of these parts, they cover exactly half the shape. That is the same as 1/2. So, 1/2 = 4/8. The fraction kit also shows this because four one-eighth pieces perfectly fit one-half piece. That is how 1/2 and 4/8 are equivalent.Read more

When a whole is divided into 12 equal parts, each piece is 1/12. If I collect 3 of them, I cover exactly one-fourth of the whole. So, 1/4 = 3/12. The same can be seen using diagrams or the fraction kit. One-fourth and three twelfths are just different names for the same part of the whole. ForRead more

Each half is written as 1/2. When I take 5 halves, it is 5 × 1/2 = 5/2. This improper fraction can be written as a mixed number 2½. That means we can make 2 full parathas and 1 more half paratha. So, 5 half-pieces equal 2½ parathas. For more NCERT Solutions for Class 5 Mathematics Maths-melaRead more

See lessWho ate more – Sevi (1/3 chikki) or Shami (2/3 chikki)?
The chikki was divided into three equal pieces. Sevi ate 1 piece, which is 1/3. Shami ate the remaining 2 pieces, which is 2/3. Clearly, 2 parts are more than 1 part. So, 2/3 is greater than 1/3. Therefore, Shami ate more than Sevi. For more NCERT Solutions for Class 5 Mathematics Maths-melaRead more

When denominators are equal, the fraction with the bigger numerator is greater. So, in (a) 1/4 < 3/4 because 3 pieces are more than 1 piece. In (b) 3/5 < 4/5 since 4 fifths are greater. In (c) 7/8 > 3/8 because 7 parts are more than 3 parts. Comparing fractions with same denominator is easyRead more
