Sevi and Shami divided a piece of chikki between themselves. Sevi ate 1/3 and Shami ate the rest, that is, 2/3. Who ate more?
The whole chikki was divided into three equal parts. Sevi got one part, which is 1/3. Shami got the remaining two parts, which is 2/3. If I compare, 2 parts are always bigger than 1 part when the size of parts is equal. So, Shami ate more chikki than Sevi because 2/3 is greater than 1/3. ForRead more

See lessCompare the fractions given below using signs. (a) 1/4 ……… 3/4 (b) 3/5 ……… 4/5 (c) 5/7 ……… 2/7 (d) 7/8 ……… 3/8 (e) 5/10 ……… 6/10 (f) 2/6 ……… 1/6
When denominators are the same, the fraction with the bigger numerator is greater. So, (a) 1/4 < 3/4, (b) 3/5 < 4/5, (c) 5/7 > 2/7, (d) 7/8 > 3/8, (e) 5/10 < 6/10, and (f) 2/6 > 1/6. On the number line too, the bigger numerator means the point is further to the right. That’s why weRead more

See lessI ate 4/6 paratha yesterday evening. I ate 4/5 paratha yesterday evening. Between Sevi and Shami, can you tell who ate more? Use your fraction kit to find the answer.
Both fractions have 4 pieces eaten, but the size of each piece is different. One-fifth piece is bigger than one-sixth piece. So, eating 4 fifths means eating a larger portion than eating 4 sixths. Using the fraction kit, I see that 4/5 covers more than 4/6. Therefore, the child who ate 4/5 paratha hRead more

See lessRaman’s father makes nice soft parathas. He cuts the parathas either into halves (2 equal parts) or fourths (4 equal parts) before serving them. He asks his children (Raman and Radhika) each day to find out the number of parathas he made. Maa took 5 pieces of 1/2 paratha. How many parathas did she eat?
Maa got 5 pieces, and each piece was half a paratha. So, 5 × 1/2 = 5/2 parathas. When I change 5/2 into a mixed number, it becomes 2½. That means Maa ate 2 full parathas and 1 half paratha. So, in total, she enjoyed 2½ parathas, not just 2 or 3. For more NCERT Solutions for Class 5 MathematicRead more

See lessDadiji had 7 pieces of 1/2 paratha. How many parathas did she eat? Find out.
Dadiji’s parathas were cut into halves. She ate 7 pieces of 1/2. That is 7 × 1/2 = 7/2 parathas. When I write this as a mixed number, it becomes 3½. So, Dadiji ate 3 complete parathas and half of another one. Altogether, she had three and a half parathas for herself. For more NCERT SolutionsRead more
