Share & grow the world's knowledge!
We want to connect the people who have knowledge to the people who need it, to bring together people with different perspectives so they can understand each other better, and to empower everyone to share their knowledge.
Compare the following fractions using 1 as a reference. Share your reasoning in the class. (a) 8/9 ………. 9/15 (b) 13/20 ………. 17/15 (c) 7/6 ………… 8/8 (d) 6/6 ………. 19/12 (e) 12/9 …………. 4/5 (f) 15/5 ………… 16/4
Compare with 1 whole. (a) 8/9 is bigger than 9/15. (b) 13/20 is less than 17/15 (more than 1). (c) 7/6 > 1, while 8/8 = 1, so 7/6 > 8/8. (d) 6/6 = 1, but 19/12 > 1, so less. (e) 12/9 > 1, but 4/5 < 1, so greater. (f) 15/5 = 3, while 16/4 = 4, so less. For more NCERT Solutions fRead more

To check, I divide numerator and denominator by the same number. Fractions equal to 1/2 are: 2/4 (÷2), 6/12 (÷6), 7/14 (÷7), 10/20 (÷10), 5/10 (÷5), and 8/16 (÷8). All of these reduce to 1/2. The others like 5/9, 3/5, and 5/7 cannot be simplified to half, so they are not equal to 1/2. For morRead more

See lessWhy can’t we compare 1/3 of one chocolate and 1/2 of another chocolate if the chocolates are not the same size?
Fractions represent equal parts of the same whole. If the wholes are different, like two chocolates of different sizes, then 1/3 of one and 1/2 of the other cannot be compared fairly. For example, 1/3 of a small chocolate may be smaller than 1/2 of a big chocolate. To compare fractions correctly, thRead more
Fractions represent equal parts of the same whole. If the wholes are different, like two chocolates of different sizes, then 1/3 of one and 1/2 of the other cannot be compared fairly. For example, 1/3 of a small chocolate may be smaller than 1/2 of a big chocolate. To compare fractions correctly, the whole objects should always be the same size. That is why Tamanna’s statement was wrong.

See lessWhat are equivalent fractions? Give two examples from the chapter.
Equivalent fractions are fractions that may have different numerators and denominators but still represent the same portion of a whole. For example, if we divide a chocolate into 2 parts, 1/2 means one piece. If we divide it into 4 parts, 2/4 also means the same half. Similarly, 1/3 = 2/6 = 3/9. TheRead more

These fractions look different but show the same shaded region. That’s why they are called equivalent fractions.

See lessSome fractions are written in the box below. Circle the fractions that are less than half. How do you know? Discuss your reasoning in the class. 3/9, 4/8, 1/3, 2/4, 7/11, 12/15, 11/16, 8/15, 11/12, 15/31, 3/15, 6/18
To check, I compare each fraction with 1/2. 3/9 = 1/3, which is less. 1/3 is less. 15/31 is just below 1/2. 3/15 = 1/5 is less. 6/18 = 1/3 is less. 4/8 and 2/4 equal 1/2, not less. All others, like 7/11, 12/15, 11/16, 8/15, and 11/12 are greater than 1/2. For more NCERT Solutions for Class 5Read more
