Q.1. Compare the fractions:
(i) 5/8 and 7/12
(ii) 5/9 and 11/15
(iii) 11/12 and 15/16
Ans. 
We have the following:
(i) 5/8 and 7/12
By cross multiplication, we get:
5 × 12 = 60 and 7 × 8 = 56
However, 60 > 56
∴  5/8 > 7/12
(ii) 5/9 and 11/15
By cross multiplication, we get:
5 × 15 = 75 and 9 × 11 = 99
However, 75 < 99
∴ 5/9 < 11/15
(iii) 11/12 and 15/16
By cross multiplication, we get:
11 × 16 = 176 and 12 × 15 = 180
However, 176 < 180
∴ 11/12 < 15/16

Q.2. Arrange the following fractions in ascending order:
(i) 3/4, 5/6, 7/9, 11/12
(ii) 4/5, 7/10, 11/15, 17/20
Ans. 
(i) The given fractions are 3/4, 5/6, 7/9 and 11/12.
LCM of 4, 6, 9 and 12 = 36
Now, let us change each of the given fractions into an equivalent fraction with 72 as its denominator.
3/4 = (3×9) / (4×9) = 27/36
5/6 = (5×6) / (6×6) = 30/36
7/9 = (7×4) / (9×4) = 28/36
11/12 = (11×3) / (12×3) = 33/36
Clearly, 27/36 < 28/36 < 30/36 < 33/36
Hence, 3/4 < 7/9 < 5/6 < 11/12
∴ The given fractions in ascending order are 3/4, 7/9, 5/6 and 11/12
(ii) The given fractions are: 4/5, 7/10, 11/15 and 17/20.
LCM of 5, 10, 15 and 20 = 60
Now, let us change each of the given fractions into an equivalent fraction with 60 as its denominator.
4/5 = (4×12) / (5×12) = 48/60
7/10 = (7×6) / (10×6) = 42/60
11/15 = (11×4) / (15×4) = 44/60
17/20 = (17×3) / (20×3) = 51/60
Clearly, 42/60 < 44/60 < 48/60 < 51/60
Hence, 7/10 < 11/15 < 4/5 < 17/20
∴ The given fractions in ascending order are
7/10, 11/15, 4/5 and 17/20

Q.3. Arrange the following fractions in descending order:
(i) 3/4, 7/8, 7/12, 17/24
(ii) 2/3, 3/5, 7/10, 8/15
Ans. 
We have the following:
(i) The given fractions are 3/4, 7/8, 7/12 and 17/24.
LCM of 4,8,12 and 24 = 24
Now, let us change each of the given fractions into an equivalent fraction with 24 as its denominator.
3/4 = (3×6) / (4×6) = 18/24
7/8 = (7×3) / (8×3) = 21/24
7/12 = (7×2 / 12×2) = 14/24
17/24 = (17×1) / (24×1) = 17/24
Clearly, 21/24 > 18/24 > 17/24 > 14/24
Hence, 7/8 > 3/4 > 17/24 > 7/12
∴ The given fractions in descending order are 7/8, 3/4, 17/24 and 7/12.
(ii) The given fractions are 2/3, 3/5, 7/10 and 8/15.
LCM of 3,5,10 and 15 = 30
Now, let us change each of the given fractions into an equivalent fraction with 30 as its denominator.
2/3 = (2×10) / (3×10) = 20/30
3/5 = (3×6) / (5×6) = 18/30
7/10 = (7×3) / (10×3) = 21/30
8/15 = (8×2) / (15×2) = 16/30
Clearly, 21/30 > 20/30 > 18/30 > 16/30
Hence, 7/10 > 2/3 > 3/5 > 8/15
∴ The given fractions in descending order are 7/10, 2/3, 3/5 and 8/15.

Q.4. Reenu got 2/7 part of an apple while Sonal got 4/5 part of it. Who got the larger part and by how much?
Ans.
We will compare the given fractions 2/7 and 4/5 in order to know who got the larger part of the apple.
We have,
By cross multiplication, we get: 2 × 5 = 10  and 4 × 7 = 28
However, 10 < 28
∴ 2/7 < 4/5
Thus, Sonal got the larger part of the apple.
Now, 4/5 - 2/7 = (28-10) / 35 = 18/35
∴ Sonal got 18/35 part of the apple more than Reenu.

Q.10. A picture isRS Aggarwal Solutions: Integers (Exercise 2A) | Mathematics (Maths) Class 7cm wide. How much should it be trimmed to fit in a frameRS Aggarwal Solutions: Integers (Exercise 2A) | Mathematics (Maths) Class 7cm wide?
Ans. Actual width of the picture = RS Aggarwal Solutions: Integers (Exercise 2A) | Mathematics (Maths) Class 7cm = 38/5 cm
Required width of the picture =RS Aggarwal Solutions: Integers (Exercise 2A) | Mathematics (Maths) Class 7cm = 73/10 cm
∴ Extra width = (38/5−73/10)cm
= (76−73) / 10 cm [∵ LCM of 5 and 10 is 10]
= 3/10 cm
Hence, the width of the picture should be trimmed by 3/10 cm.

= 13/6 hours
= RS Aggarwal Solutions: Integers (Exercise 2A) | Mathematics (Maths) Class 7hours
Hence, the actual duration of the film was RS Aggarwal Solutions: Integers (Exercise 2A) | Mathematics (Maths) Class 7hours

Q.15. Of 2/3 and 5/9, which is greater and by how much?

Ans. First we have to compare the fractions: 2/3 and 5/9.
By cross multiplication, we have:
2 × 9 = 18 and 5 × 3 = 15
However, 18 > 15
∴2/3 > 5/9
So, 2/3 is larger than 5/9.
Now, 2/3−5/9
= (6−5) / 9 [∵ LCM of 3 and 9 = 9]
= 1/9
Hence, 2/3 is 1/9 part more than 5/9.

Q.16. The cost of a pen is RsRS Aggarwal Solutions: Integers (Exercise 2A) | Mathematics (Maths) Class 7and that of a pencil is RsRS Aggarwal Solutions: Integers (Exercise 2A) | Mathematics (Maths) Class 7. Which costs more and by how much?
Ans. 
First, we have to compare the cost of the pen and the pencil.
Cost of the pen = RsRS Aggarwal Solutions: Integers (Exercise 2A) | Mathematics (Maths) Class 7= Rs 83/5
Cost of the pencil = Rs RS Aggarwal Solutions: Integers (Exercise 2A) | Mathematics (Maths) Class 7= Rs 19/4
Now, we have to compare fractions 83/5 and 19/4.
By cross multiplication, we get: 83 × 4 = 332 and 19 × 5 = 95
However, 332 > 95
∴ 83/5 > 19/4
So, the cost of pen is more than that of the pencil.
Now, Rs (83/5 − 19/4)
= Rs (332 − 95) / 20 [∵ LCM of 4 and 5 = 20]
= Rs 237
= RsRS Aggarwal Solutions: Integers (Exercise 2A) | Mathematics (Maths) Class 7
∴ The pen costs RsRS Aggarwal Solutions: Integers (Exercise 2A) | Mathematics (Maths) Class 7more than the pencil.
