Write the fraction representing the shaded portion.
NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Maths Chapter 7 Fractions
Solution:
(i) Total number of parts = 4
Number of shaded parts = 2
∴ Fraction = (frac { 2 }{ 4 })

(ii) Total number of parts = 9
Number of shaded parts = 8
∴ Fraction = (frac { 8 }{ 9 })

(iii) Total number of parts = 8
Number of shaded parts = 4
∴ Fraction = (frac { 4 }{ 8 })

(iv) Total number of parts = 4
Number of shaded parts = 1
∴ Fraction = (frac { 1 }{ 4 })

(v) Total number of parts = 7
Number of shaded parts = 3
∴ Fraction = (frac { 3 }{ 7 })

(vi) Total number of parts = 12
Number of shaded parts = 3
∴ Fraction = (frac { 3 }{ 12 })

(vii) Total number of parts = 10
Number of shaded parts = 10
∴ Fraction = (frac { 10 }{ 10 })

(viii) Total number of parts = 9

Ex 7.3 Class 6 Maths Question 4.
Find the equivalent fraction of (frac { 3 }{ 5 }) having
(a) denominator 20
(b) numerator 9
(c) denominator 30
(d) numerator 27
Solution:
(a) Here, we require denominator 20.
Let N be the numerator of the fractions.
NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Maths Chapter 7 Fractions
∴ The required fraction is (frac { 12 }{ 20 })

(b) Here, we required numerator 9.
Let D be the denominator of the fraction.
NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Maths Chapter 7 Fractions
∴ The required fraction is (frac { 9 }{ 15 }).

(c) Here, we required denominator 30.
Let N be the numerator of the fraction.
NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Maths Chapter 7 Fractions
∴ The required fraction is (frac { 18 }{ 30 }).

(d) Here, we required numerator 27.
Let D be the denominator of the fraction.
NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Maths Chapter 7 Fractions
∴ The required fraction is (frac { 27 }{ 45 }).

Ex 7.3 Class 6 Maths Question 5.
Find the equivalent fraction of (frac { 36 }{ 48 }) with
(a) numerator 9
(b) denominator 4
Solution:
(a) Given that numerator = 9
NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Maths Chapter 7 Fractions
So, the equivalent fraction is (frac { 9 }{ 12 }).

(b) Given that denominator = 4
∴ (frac { N }{ 4 }) = (frac { 36 }{ 48 }) ⇒ N x 48 = 4 x 36
⇒ N = (frac { 4 x 36 }{ 48 }) = 3
So, the equivalent fraction is (frac { 3 }{ 4 }) .

Ex 7.3 Class 6 Maths Question 6.
Check whether the given fractions are equivalent:
NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Maths Chapter 7 Fractions
Solution:
(a) (frac { 5 }{ 9 }) and (frac { 30 }{ 54 })
We have 5 x 54 = 270
and 9 x 30 = 270
Here 5 x 54 = 9 x 30
∴ (frac { 5 }{ 9 }) and (frac { 30 }{ 54 }) are equivalent fractions.

(b) (frac { 3 }{ 10 }) and (frac { 12 }{ 50 })
We have 3 x 50 = 150
and 10 x 12 = 120
Here 3 x 50 ≠ 10 x 12
∴ (frac { 3 }{ 10 }) and (frac { 12 }{ 50 }) are not equivalent fractions.

(c) (frac { 7 }{ 13 }) and (frac { 5 }{ 11 })
We have 7 x 11 = 77 and 5 x 13 = 65
Here 7 x 11 ≠ 5 x 13
∴ (frac { 7 }{ 13 }) and (frac { 5 }{ 11 }) are not equivalent fractions.

Lalita read (frac { 2 }{ 5 }) of the same book. Who read less?
Solution:
Ila reads 25 pages out of 100 pages.
NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Maths Chapter 7 Fractions
Lalita reads (frac { 2 }{ 5 }) of the same book.
Comparing (frac { 1 }{ 4 }) and (frac { 2 }{ 5 }) , we get
1 x 5 = 5 and 2 x 4 = 8
Since 5 < 8
∴ (frac { 1 }{ 4 }) < (frac { 2 }{ 5 })
Hence Ila reads less pages.

Rohit exercised for (frac { 3 }{ 4 }) of an hour.
Comparing (frac { 3 }{ 6 }) and (frac { 3 }{ 4 }) , we get
3 x 4 = 12 and 3 x 6 = 18
Since 12 < 18
∴ (frac { 3 }{ 4 }) > (frac { 3 }{ 6 })
Hence Rohit exercised for longer time.

A piece of wire (frac { 7 }{ 8 }) metre long broke into two pieces. One piece was (frac { 1 }{ 4 }) metre long. How long is the other piece?
Solution:
Total length of the wire = (frac { 7 }{ 8 }) metre
Length of one piece of wire = (frac { 1 }{ 4 }) metre
∴ Length of the other piece = (frac { 7 }{ 8 }) – (frac { 1 }{ 4 })
LCM of 8 and 4 = 8
NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Maths Chapter 7 Fractions
Hence, the length of the other piece = (frac { 5 }{ 8 }) metre.
