Tamanna is a student of Grade 5. She has two chocolates of different
sizes. She says that
1
3
of one of her chocolates is bigger than
1
2
of the
other chocolate. Is that correct? Explain why this is so.
When can we say that
1
2
of something
is greater than
1
3
of something?
To compare two fractions of two wholes, the wholes from which the
fractions are derived must be the same.

FAQs on NCERT Textbook: Fractions - Mathematics (Maths Mela) Class 5 - New NCERT
| 1. What are fractions and how are they represented? |  |
Ans. Fractions are a way to represent a part of a whole. They are expressed in the form a/b, where 'a' is the numerator (the number of parts we have) and 'b' is the denominator (the total number of equal parts the whole is divided into). For example, in the fraction ¾, 3 is the numerator and 4 is the denominator, indicating that we have 3 out of 4 equal parts.
| 2. How do you compare two fractions to determine which is larger? | |
Ans. To compare two fractions, you can use a common denominator or convert them to decimal form. If they have the same denominator, the fraction with the larger numerator is greater. If they have different denominators, you can find the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators, convert both fractions to this common denominator, and then compare the numerators.
| 3. What are equivalent fractions and how can you find them? | |
Ans. Equivalent fractions are different fractions that represent the same value or proportion of a whole. To find equivalent fractions, you can multiply or divide both the numerator and the denominator of a fraction by the same non-zero number. For example, ½ is equivalent to 2/4, as both represent the same part of a whole.
| 4. How can you add or subtract fractions with different denominators? | |
Ans. To add or subtract fractions with different denominators, you first need to find a common denominator. This is usually the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators. Once you have a common denominator, convert each fraction to this new fraction, then add or subtract the numerators while keeping the common denominator the same. Finally, simplify the resulting fraction if possible.
| 5. What is the process for simplifying fractions? | |
Ans. Simplifying fractions involves reducing them to their simplest form, where the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1. To simplify a fraction, you can divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD). For example, the fraction 8/12 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their GCD, which is 4, resulting in 2/3.
