If each paratha is cut into halves, how many parathas do you get from 5 half-pieces?
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

See lessCompare the following fractions using : (a) 1/4 __ 3/4 (b) 3/5 __ 4/5 (c) 7/8 __ 3/8
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

See lessCompare 4/6 and 4/5. Who ate more?
When numerators are the same, the fraction with the smaller denominator is larger, because each piece is bigger. Between 4/6 and 4/5, both show 4 parts eaten, but fifths are bigger than sixths. So, 4/5 is more than 4/6. This means the person who ate 4/5 paratha ate more food. For more NCERT SRead more

See lessWhich fractions from this list are equal to 1/2? [2/4, 3/5, 5/10, 7/14, 6/12]
To check, I simplify each fraction. 2/4 = 1/2. 5/10 = 1/2. 7/14 = 1/2. 6/12 = 1/2. But 3/5 cannot be reduced to 1/2. So, the fractions equal to half are 2/4, 5/10, 7/14, and 6/12. They look different but represent the same part of the whole. For more NCERT Solutions for Class 5 Mathematics MaRead more
