1. 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

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. 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

  5. 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
