Q1. Answer: d) Both b and c
Explanation: 6/9 simplifies to 2/3 and 4/6 also simplifies to 2/3, so both are equivalent to 2/3.
Q2. Answer: b) 3/4
Explanation: HCF of 18 and 24 is 6. Dividing both by 6 gives 18/6 = 3 and 24/6 = 4, so the answer is 3/4.
Q3. Answer: a) 3/5
Explanation: Converting to same denominator, 3/5 = 21/35 and 4/7 = 20/35. Since 21/35 is greater, 3/5 is greater.
Q4. Answer: c) Improper fraction
Explanation: In 9/4, the numerator 9 is greater than the denominator 4, so it is an improper fraction.
Q5. Answer: b) 17/5
Explanation: Multiply whole number 3 by denominator 5, getting 15, then add numerator 2 to get 17. So the answer is 17/5.
Q6. Answer: proper fraction
Q7. Answer: like
Q8. Answer: LCM (Least Common Multiple)
Q9. Answer: 3/4
Explanation: HCF of 36 and 48 is 12. Dividing both by 12 gives 36/12 = 3 and 48/12 = 4.
Q10. Answer: 3/8
Q11. Answer: LCM of 2, 8, 6, 3 is 24.
Converting: 1/2 = 12/24, 3/8 = 9/24, 5/6 = 20/24, 2/3 = 16/24.
Ascending order: 3/8, 1/2, 2/3, 5/6.
Q12. Answer: Multiplying numerator and denominator of 3/7 by 2 gives 6/14. Multiplying by 3 gives 9/21. So two equivalent fractions are 6/14 and 9/21.
Q13. Answer: Length used = 1/3 metre.
Converting to same denominator: 5/6 minus 1/3 = 5/6 minus 2/6 = 3/6 = 1/2 metre.
Fraction of ribbon left is 1/2 metre.
Q14. Answer: Dividing 47 by 6, we get quotient 7 and remainder 5.
So 47/6 = 7 and 5/6 as a mixed number.
Q15. Answer: True.
In a proper fraction, the numerator is always less than the denominator. This means the fraction represents a value less than one whole. For example, 3/5 means only 3 parts out of 5 equal parts, which is always less than 1.
