Raman’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?

  • 1

Each piece is half a paratha. Maa ate 5 halves. That equals 5/2, which is the same as 2½ parathas. So, Maa ate two whole parathas and one half paratha in total.

  1. 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.
