= 5/8

(b) Three-fifths

= 3/5

(c) Two-ninths

= 2/9

Question no – (5) 

Solution : 

(a) Given, 5/16

We write 5 divided 16 as 5/16

 Numerator = 5

 Denominator = 16

(b) Given, 8/23

We write 8 divided 21 as 8/23

Numerator = 8

Denominator = 23

Denominator = 98

(e) Given, 9/1

We write 9 divided 1 as 9/1

Numerator = 9

Denominator = 1

Question no – (6) 

Solution : 

(a) Given, numerator = 7,

denominator = 12

We know,

Fraction = numerator ÷ denominator

7/12

(b) Given, numerator = 12,

denominator = 19

We know,

Fraction = numerator ÷ denominator

12/19

Question no – (8) 

Solution : 

(a) 15 minutes of an hour.

We know, 1 hour = 60 minute.

∴ 15/60

= 1/4

(b) 12 hours of a day?

We know, A day = 24 hours

12/24

= 1/2

Solution : 

According to the given question,

Sudhir has 45 balls.

He gives 5/9 sister

Sister receives,

= 45 × 5/9

= 25 balls

Left ball with Sudhir,

= 45 – 25

= 20 balls

Therefore, Sudhir was left with 20 balls.

= 695 – 277/18

= 418/18

= 209/9

= 23 2/9

Therefore, simplest form of 38 11/18 – 15 7/18 is = 23 2/9

Question no – (7) 

Solution : 

Let, Total Earth’s surface = 1

Land covered by = 3/10

Rest surface = Water covered

= 1 – 3/10

= 10 – 3/10

= 7/10

Thus, 7/10 of Earth’s surface is covered by water.

Question no – (8) 

Solution : 

Total program = 3 1/6 hour

= 19/6 hour

1st part of program = 1/6 hour

Intermission of program = 1/6 hour

Rest of program,

= 19/6 – (1/6 + 1/6)

= 19/6 – (1 + 1/6)

= 19/6 – 2/6

= 19 – 2/6

= 17/6

= 2 5/6 hour.

Therefore, the rest of the programme last 2 5/6 hour.

= 12 9/10

(c) 19 7/10 + 12 5/8

19 7/10 + 12 5/8

= 197/10 + 101/8

= 788 + 505/40

= 1293/40

= 32 9/10

(d) 2 15/22 + 3 20/33

2 15/22 + 3 20/33

= 10 1/24

Question no – (5) 

Solution :  

Given, 4 1/8 – (1 1/4 + 2 1/2)

= 33/8 – (5/4 + 5/2)

= 33/8 – (5 + 10/4)

= 33/8 – 15/4

= 33 – 30/8

= 3/8

Question no – (6) 

Solution : 

Given, 6 1/5 – (4 3/10 – 1 1/2)

= 31/5 – (43/10 – 3/2)

= 31/5 – (43 – 15/10)

= 31/5 – (28/10)

= 62 – 28/10

= 34/10

= 3 2/5

Fractions Self Practice 5j Solution : 

Question no – (1) 

Solution : 

As per the question,

Area = 1 4/5 km²

1 4/5 km² as improper fraction,

= 9/5 km²

Question no – (2) 

Solution : 

Total budget of business = 1

Rest money

= 1 – (2/5 + 1/12 + 2/25)

= 1 – (120 + 25 + 24/300)

= 1 – (169/300)

= 300 – 169/300

= 131/300

Therefore, Anil spend more on advertising.

Question no – (3) 

Solution : 

As per the given question,

Sumer ran 1/3 km on Monday

and 3 1/4 km on Tuesday

Total run of Sumer,

= 1/3 + 3 1/4

= 1/3 + 13/4

= 4 + 39/12

= 43/12

= 3 7/12 km

Hence, Sumer ran 3 7/12 km on the two days

Question no – (4) 

Solution : 

According to the question,

Coin is tossed = 100 time

Heads appear = 55 times

fraction of the total are tails = ?

Tails fraction,

= 100/55

= 20/11

= 1 9/11

Therefore, 1 9/11 of the total are tails.

Question no – (5) 

Solution : 

As per the question we know,

Crowd sat at the pavilion = 3/4

Sat on the grass = 1/8

Crowd was standing = ?

Standing crowd,

= 1 – (3/4 – 1/8)

= 1 – (6 – 1/8)

= 1 – 5/8

= 8 – 5/8

= 3/8

Therefore, 3/8 crowd was standing.

Question no – (6) 

Solution : 

According to the question,

Sales in the morning = 3/8

Sales in the afternoon = 7/10

Sales in the evening = 3/16

7/10 > 3/8 > 3/16

Therefore, most of her sales occur in afternoon.

Question no – (7) 

Solution : 

Remain fraction,

= 1 – (1/5 + 1/3 + 1.4)

= 1 – (12 + 20 + 15/60)

= 1 – 47/60

= 60 – 47/60

= 13/60

Remain pages,

= 240 × 13/60

= 52 pages

Hence, 52 pages remain to be read.

Question no – (8) 

Solution : 

Shekher jogs,

= 1 1/4 + 2 1/8 + 1 1/20

= 5/4 + 17/8 + 21/20

= 50 + 85 + 42/40

= 177/40 km

One round less then 5 km,

= 5 – 177/40

= 200 – 177/40

= 23/40 km

Therefore, the is one round less than 23/40 km

Question no – (9) 

Solution : 

As per the question, Sudhir walk = 3/5 km

Prem walk,

= 3/5 – 7/20

= 12 – 7/20

= 5/20 km

Rohan walk,

= 5/20 + 5/8

= 10 + 25/40

= 35/40

= 7/8 km

Therefore, Rohan walk 7/8 km and Prem will walk 7/8 km.

Question no – (10) 

Solution : 

Rest journey remains,

= 1 – (1/8 + 2/5 + 3/10)

= 1 – (5 + 16 + 12/40)

= 1 – 33/40

= 40 – 33/40

= 7/40 km

Now, before breakfast journey,

= 80 × 1/8

= 10 km

Between breakfast and lunch journey,

= 80 × 2/5

= 36 km

Between breakfast and tea journey,

= 80 × 3/10

= 24 km

Rest lunch remaining journey,
