Test: Fractions - Class 6 MCQ

Blocks shaded = 1

Total Blocks = 8

Hence fraction of shaded region = 1/8

A fraction is a number representing a part of a whole. The whole may be a single object or a group of objects.

Consider the fraction 7/12. This fraction is read as ”seven-twelfth” which means that 7 parts out of 12 equal parts in which the whole is divided. In the fraction 7/12, 7 is called the numerator and 12 is called the denominator.

=> 14/7 = 0.82

10/12 = 0.833

6/7 = 0.85

18/22 = 0.81

So the increasing order of the fractions is 18/22, 14/17, 10/12 , 6/7.

Answer : B

18/22, 14/17, 10/12, 6/7

Make denominators the same by taking LCM:

Blocks shaded = 4
Total Blocks = 6
Hence fraction of shaded region = 4/6

"3 out of 7" means that out of a total of 7 fruits, 3 are apples. The fraction is written as 3/7, where:

• Numerator (3): Number of apples
• Denominator (7): Total number of fruits

Here, the numerators are the same. So, the fraction having a lesser denominator is greater ∴ 1 / 2 > 1 / 5
