Shikha painted 1/5 of the wall space in her room. Her brother Ravish helped and painted 3/5 of the wall space. How much did they paint together? How much the room is left unpainted? Solution: Fraction of wall space painted by Shikha = 1/5 Fraction of wall space painted by Ravish = 3/5 So the wall space painted by both = 1/5 + 3/5 = (1+3)/5 = 4/5 We get the unpainted space = (5 – 4)/ 5 = 1/5 Therefore, Shikha and Ravish painted 4/5 of the wall space together and the room space left unpainted is 1/5. 4. Ramesh bought 2 ½ kg sugar whereas Rohit bought 3 ½ kg of sugar. Find the total amount of sugar bought by both of them. Solution: Sugar bought by Ramesh = 2 ½ kg It can be written as Sugar bought by Ramesh = ((2 × 2) + 1)/ 2 = 5/2 kg Sugar bought by Rohit = 3 ½ kg It can be written as Sugar bought by Rohit = ((2 × 3) + 1)/ 2 = 7/2 kg So the total sugar bought by both of them = Sugar bought by Ramesh + Sugar bought by Rohit By substituting the values Total sugar bought by both of them = 5/2 + 7/2 = 12/2 = 6kg Therefore, the total amount of sugar bought by both of them is 6kg. 5. The teacher taught 3/5 of the book, Vivek revised 1/5 more on his own. How much does he still have to revise?

The teacher taught 3/5 of the book, Vivek revised 1/5 more on his own. How much does he still have to revise? Solution: We know that Fraction of book teacher taught = 3/5 Fraction of book Vivek revised = 1/5 So the fraction of book Vivek still have to revise = 3/5 – 1/5 = (3 – 1)/ 5 = 2/5 Hence, Vivek still have to revise 2/5 of the book. 6. Amit was given 5/7 of a bucket of oranges. What fraction of oranges was left in the basket? Solution: We know that Fraction of oranges Amit has = 5/7 So the fraction of oranges left in the basket = 1 – 5/7 = (7 – 5)/ 7 = 2/7 Hence, the fraction of oranges left in the basket is 2/7. 7. Fill in the missing fractions: (i) 7/10 - ? = 3/10 (ii) ? - 3/21 = 5/21 (iii) ? - 3/6 = 3/6 (iv) ? - 5/27 = 12/27 Solution: (i) 7/10 - ? = 3/10 It can be written as 7/10 - 3/10 = ? We get (7 – 3)/ 10 = 2/5 (ii) ? - 3/21 = 5/21 It can be written as ? = 5/21 + 3/21 We get (5 + 3)/ 21 = 8/21 (iii) ? - 3/6 = 3/6 It can be written as ? = 3/6 + 3/6 We get (3 + 3)/ 6 = 6/6 = 1 (iv) ? - 5/27 = 12/27 It can be written as ? = 12/27 + 5/27 We get (12 + 5)/ 27 = 17/27Read More
