Q.4. Write natural numbers from 1 to 15 :________________________
 (i) What fraction of them are prime numbers?
 (ii) What fraction of them are composite numbers?
 Ans. The natural numbers from 1 to 15 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15

(i) The prime numbers are: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13.
So, there are 6 prime numbers.

=  615   =  25

(ii) The composite numbers are:4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15.
So, there are 8 composite numbers.

= 815

(i) 6 hours of a day.
(ii) 750 gms of a kilogram.
Ans. 

(i)A day has 24 hours. 
Fraction = 624 = 14

(ii) A kilogram is equal to 1000 grams.
Fraction = 7501000 = 34

Q.6. Fill the following blanks with <, > or = 

(i) 12  ______   15

(ii) 33    ______    36

(iii) 14  ______   28

Ans. (i) >

 12 = 0.5 and 15 = 0.2, so 0.5 > 0.2.

(ii) >

Explanation: 33 = 1 and 36 = 0.5, so 1 > 0.5.

(iii) =
Explanation: 14 = 0.25 and 28 = 0.25, so 0.25 = 0.25.

Q.7. Put the following set of fractions in descending order :
 (i) 15, 35, 135, 95, 125

(ii) 37, 311, 32, 35, 310

Ans. 

(i) Since the denominators are the same we will compare the numerators, then the order becomes :

 135 > 125 > 95 > 35 > 15

(ii) The smaller the denominator, the larger the fraction:

 32 > 35 > 37 > 310 > 311

Q.8. Represent 58 and 38on the number line.

Ans. 

Q.9. Rita has a pizza with 8 slices. She ate 3 pieces out of it. Sita eats of the same pizza. 
 Who eats more and by how much?

Ans. Rita eats more pizza than Sita.
Rita eats 38  -  28  =  18  more pizza than Sita.

Q.10. Is it true or false for the following? If not then mention the correct options (<, > or =) 

(i) 14 = 1

(ii) 55 = 1

(iii) 06 < 1

(iv) 78 < 1

Ans. 

(i) False, <

 14 means 1 divided by 4, which equals 0.25.
So, 14 ≠ 1, and this statement is false.

(ii) True
55 means 5 divided by 5, which equals 1.
So, 55 = 1, and this statement is true.

(iii) False, <
06 means 0 divided by 6, which equals 0.
Since 0 is less than 1, the statement is true.

(iv) True
78 is 0.875, which is less than 1.
So, 78 < 1, and the statement is true.

Q.11. Find the equivalent fraction of  35, with

(i) Numerator 27
(ii) Denominator 25

Ans. 

(i)We need to find a number to multiply 3 by to get 27.
So, $3\times 9=273\; \backslash times\; 9\; =\; 27$
Now, we multiply the denominator by the same number, 9, to maintain the equality of the fraction:

(i) 35 × 99 = 2745

So, the equivalent fraction with numerator 27 is 2745.

(ii) We need to find a number to multiply 5 by to get 25.
So, $5\times 5=25$
$Now, we multiply the numerator by the same number, 5, to maintain the equality of the fraction:35 × 55 = 1525So, the equivalent fraction with denominator 25 is 1525.$

Q.12. Reduce to the simplest form : 

(i) 15060

(ii) 3672

(iii) 5125

Ans. 

(i) The prime factorization of 150 is 2 × 3 × 5²,

and the prime factorization of 60 is 2² × 3 × 5.

The common factors are 2 × 3 × 5 = 30.
Now, divide both the numerator and denominator by 30:
15060 = 150 ÷ 3060 ÷ 30 = 52.
The simplest form of 15060 is 52.

(ii) The prime factorization of 36 is 2² × 3², 

and the prime factorization of 72 is 2³ × 3². 

The common factors are 2² × 3² = 36.
Now, divide both the numerator and denominator by 36:
3672 = 36 ÷ 3672 ÷ 36 = 12.
The simplest form of 3672 is 12.

(iii) The prime factorization of 5 is 5, 

and the prime factorization of 125 is 5³. 

The common factor is 5.

Now, divide both the numerator and denominator by 5:
5125 = 5 ÷ 5125 ÷ 5 = 125.

The simplest form of 5125 is 125.

Q.13. Match the following :

Ans. (i) ↔ (b)
(ii) ↔ (d)
(iii) ↔ (a)
(iv) ↔ (c)

Sol: 

1. 8 17 = 8 × 7 + 17 = 577

2. 4 35 = 4 × 5 + 35 = 235

3. 7 47 = 7 × 7 + 47 = 537

4. 8 25 = 8 × 5 + 25 = 425

Now we can match the pairs:

(i) 8 17 = 577 → (b)

(ii) 4 35 = 235 → (d)

(iii) 7 47 = 537 → (a)

(iv) 8 25 = 425 → (c)
