1. 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

  2. Each half is written as 1/2. Maa ate 5 halves, so that is 5 × 1/2 = 5/2. Converting 5/2 into a mixed number gives 2½. That means Maa ate 2 full parathas and one more half paratha. So, her total is 2½ parathas.   For more NCERT Solutions for Class 5 Mathematics Maths-mela Chapter 2: Fractions ExRead more

  3. Tamanna’s idea is wrong because both chocolates are not the same size. Fractions only show equal parts of the same whole. 1/3 of a small chocolate may be less than 1/2 of a larger chocolate. To compare fractions, the whole objects must be the same size. Without equal chocolates, her statement aboutRead more

To compare fractions, the whole objects must be the same size. Without equal chocolates, her statement about 1/3 being bigger than 1/2 is not correct.

  4. Yes, 1/3 and 2/6 are equal. If a whole chocolate is cut into 3 equal pieces, each piece is 1/3. If we further cut those pieces into two smaller equal parts, then each is 1/6. Now, one piece of 1/3 is the same as two pieces of 1/6. So 1/3 = 2/6, because both show the same part of the whole.   FoRead more

  5. Yes, I understand that 1/3 = 2/6. When the whole is divided into three equal parts, one shaded part is 1/3. If we further divide each part into two, then we get 6 equal pieces. In that case, the same shaded region will now have 2/6 written on it. Even though the numbers look different, both fractionRead more
