Exercise 7.4

1. Write shaded portion as a fraction. Arrange them in ascending and descending order using correct sign ‘<’, ‘>’, ‘=’ between the fractions:


Observe the first circle. It is divided into eight parts out of which three parts are shaded. So, the fraction is 3/8


Ans: Observe the first circle. It is divided into eight parts out of which three parts are shaded. So, the fraction is $\dfrac{3}{8}$.

Observe the second circle. It is divided into eight parts out of which six parts are shaded. So, the fraction is $\dfrac{6}{8}$.

Observe the third circle. It is divided into eight parts out of which three parts are shaded. So, the fraction is $\dfrac{4}{8}$.

Observe the fourth circle. It is divided into eight parts out of which one part are shaded. So, the fraction is $\dfrac{1}{8}$.

Now, we will arrange the fraction in ascending order. If the denominator is the same, the smaller the numerator, the smaller is the fraction.

Ascending order: $\dfrac{1}{8} < \dfrac{3}{8} < \dfrac{4}{8} < \dfrac{6}{8}$

Now, we will arrange the fraction in descending order. If the denominator is the same, the greater the numerator, the larger is the fraction.

Descending order: $\dfrac{6}{8} > \dfrac{4}{8} > \dfrac{3}{8} > \dfrac{1}{8}$

b.

Observe the first square. It is divided into nine parts out of which eight parts are shaded. So, the fraction is 8/9


Ans: Observe the first square. It is divided into nine parts out of which eight parts are shaded. So, the fraction is $\dfrac{8}{9}$.

Observe the second square. It is divided into nine parts out of which four parts are shaded. So, the fraction is $\dfrac{4}{9}$.

Observe the third square. It is divided into nine parts out of which three parts are shaded. So, the fraction is \[\dfrac{3}{9}\].

Observe the fourth square. It is divided into nine parts out of which six parts are shaded. So, the fraction is $\dfrac{6}{9}$.

Now, we will arrange the fraction in ascending order. If the denominator is the same, the smaller the numerator, the smaller is the fraction.

Ascending order: $\dfrac{3}{9} < \dfrac{4}{9} < \dfrac{6}{9} < \dfrac{8}{9}$

Now, we will arrange the fraction in descending order. If the denominator is the same, the greater the numerator, the larger is the fraction.

Descending order: $\dfrac{8}{9} > \dfrac{6}{9} > \dfrac{4}{9} > \dfrac{3}{9}$

c. Show $\dfrac{2}{4}$,$\dfrac{4}{6}$, $\dfrac{8}{6}$ and $\dfrac{6}{6}$ on the number line. Put appropriate signs between the fractions given: 

$\dfrac{5}{6}\boxed{}\dfrac{2}{6}$, $\dfrac{3}{6}\boxed{}0$, $\dfrac{1}{6}\boxed{}\dfrac{6}{6}$, $\dfrac{8}{6}\boxed{}\dfrac{5}{6}$

Ans: Divide the number line between 0 and 1 into 6 parts and mark the points as follows.


Divide the number line between 0 and 1 into 6 parts and mark the points

$\dfrac{5}{6}\boxed < \dfrac{2}{6}$,

$\dfrac{3}{6}\boxed < 0$,

$\dfrac{1}{6}\boxed > \dfrac{6}{6}$,

$\dfrac{8}{6}\boxed > \dfrac{5}{6}$


2. Compare the fractions and put an inappropriate sign.

a. $\dfrac{3}{6}\boxed{}\dfrac{5}{6}$

Ans: The fraction, $\dfrac{3}{6}$ shows that three parts are selected out of six parts and the fraction, $\dfrac{5}{6}$ shows that five parts are selected out of six parts. Thus, we know that $5 > 3$. Therefore, $\dfrac{3}{6}\boxed < \dfrac{5}{6}$.

b. $\dfrac{1}{7}\boxed{}\dfrac{1}{4}$

Ans: To solve the given question, make the denominator equal. To do so, multiply the numerator and denominator of $\dfrac{1}{7}$ and $\dfrac{1}{4}$ by 4 and 7 respectively.

$\dfrac{{1 \times 4}}{{7 \times 4}} = \dfrac{4}{{28}}$

$\dfrac{{1 \times 7}}{{4 \times 7}} = \dfrac{7}{{28}}$

The fraction, $\dfrac{4}{{28}}$ shows that four parts are selected out of twenty-eight parts and the fraction, $\dfrac{7}{{28}}$ shows that seven parts are selected out of twenty-eight parts. Thus, $\dfrac{4}{{28}}\boxed < \dfrac{7}{{28}}$.

Therefore, $\dfrac{1}{7}\boxed < \dfrac{1}{4}$.

c. $\dfrac{4}{5}\boxed{}\dfrac{5}{5}$

Ans: The fraction, $\dfrac{4}{5}$ shows that four parts are selected out of five parts and the fraction, $\dfrac{5}{5}$ shows that five parts are selected out of five parts. Thus, we know that $4 < 5$. Therefore, $\dfrac{4}{5}\boxed < \dfrac{5}{5}$.

Ans: To solve the given question, make the denominator equal. To do so, multiply the numerator and denominator of $\dfrac{3}{5}$ and $\dfrac{3}{7}$ by 7 and 5 respectively.

$\dfrac{{3 \times 7}}{{5 \times 7}} = \dfrac{{21}}{{35}}$

$\dfrac{{3 \times 5}}{{7 \times 5}} = \dfrac{{15}}{{35}}$

The fraction, $\dfrac{{21}}{{35}}$ shows that twenty one parts are selected out of thirty five parts and the fraction, $\dfrac{{15}}{{35}}$ shows that fifteen parts are selected out of thirty five parts. Thus, $\dfrac{{21}}{{35}}\boxed > \dfrac{{15}}{{35}}$.

Therefore, $\dfrac{3}{5}\boxed > \dfrac{3}{7}$.

e. $\dfrac{2}{5}\boxed{}\dfrac{1}{7}$

Ans: To solve the given question, make the denominator equal. To do so, multiply the numerator and denominator of $\dfrac{2}{5}$ and $\dfrac{1}{7}$ by 7 and 5 respectively.

$\dfrac{{2 \times 7}}{{5 \times 7}} = \dfrac{{14}}{{35}}$

$\dfrac{{1 \times 5}}{{7 \times 5}} = \dfrac{5}{{35}}$

The fraction, $\dfrac{{14}}{{35}}$ shows that fourteen parts are selected out of thirty five parts and the fraction, $\dfrac{5}{{35}}$ shows that five parts are selected out of thirty five parts. Thus, $\dfrac{{14}}{{35}}\boxed > \dfrac{5}{{35}}$.

Therefore, $\dfrac{2}{5}\boxed > \dfrac{1}{7}$.


4. Look at the figures and write ‘<’ or ‘>’, ‘=’ between the given pairs of fractions.


Different Fractions


a. $\dfrac{1}{6}\boxed{}\dfrac{1}{3}$

Ans: Here, the numerators are the same. Thus, the fraction that consists of a lesser denominator is the greater.

$\dfrac{1}{6}\boxed{<}\dfrac{1}{3}$

b. $\dfrac{3}{4}\boxed{}\dfrac{2}{6}$

Ans: Let us solve by multiplying ‘3’ in numerator and denominator to the LHS,

$\dfrac{3}{4} = \dfrac{3\times3}{4\times3}$

$= \dfrac{9}{12}$

Now let us multiply ‘2’ in the numerator and denominator to the RHS

$\dfrac{2}{6} = \dfrac{2\times2}{6\times2}$

$= \dfrac{4}{12}$

Both the fractions have the same denominators. So, the fraction having a greater numerator will be the greater

$\dfrac{9}{12}\boxed{>}\dfrac{4}{12}$

$\therefore \dfrac{3}{4}\boxed{>}\dfrac{2}{6}$

c. $\dfrac{2}{3}\boxed{}\dfrac{2}{4}$

7. Find answers to the following. Write and indicate how you solved them:

a. Is $\dfrac{5}{9}$ equal to $\dfrac{4}{5}$?

Ans: To solve the question, take the LCM of the denominators of 9 and 5.

The LCM of the denominator of 9 and 5 is 45.

Multiply numerator and denominator of $\dfrac{5}{9}$ by 4.

$\dfrac{{5 \times 5}}{{9 \times 5}} = \dfrac{{25}}{{45}}$

Multiply numerator and denominator of $\dfrac{4}{5}$ by 4.

$\dfrac{{4 \times 9}}{{5 \times 9}} = \dfrac{{36}}{{45}}$

Since $\dfrac{{25}}{{45}} \ne \dfrac{{36}}{{45}}$ then, $\dfrac{5}{9} \ne \dfrac{4}{5}$.

b. Is $\dfrac{9}{{16}}$ equal to $\dfrac{5}{9}$?

Ans: To solve the question, take the LCM of the denominators of 9 and 16.

The LCM of the denominator of 9 and 16 is 144.

Multiply numerator and denominator of $\dfrac{9}{{16}}$ by 16.

$\dfrac{{9 \times 144}}{{16 \times 144}} = \dfrac{{81}}{{144}}$

Multiply numerator and denominator of $\dfrac{5}{9}$ by 9.

$\dfrac{{5 \times 16}}{{9 \times 16}} = \dfrac{{80}}{{144}}$

Since $\dfrac{{81}}{{144}} \ne \dfrac{{80}}{{144}}$ then, $\dfrac{9}{{16}} \ne \dfrac{5}{9}$.

c. Is $\dfrac{4}{5}$ equal to $\dfrac{{16}}{{20}}$?

Ans: To solve the question, take the LCM of the denominators of 5 and 20.

The LCM of the denominator of 5 and 20 is 20.

Multiply numerator and denominator of $\dfrac{4}{5}$ by 4.

$\dfrac{{4 \times 4}}{{5 \times 4}} = \dfrac{{16}}{{20}}$

Since $\dfrac{{16}}{{20}} = \dfrac{{16}}{{20}}$ then, $\dfrac{4}{5} = \dfrac{{16}}{{20}}$.

Yes, $\dfrac{4}{5}$ is  equal to $\dfrac{{16}}{{20}}$.

d. Is $\dfrac{1}{{15}}$ equal to $\dfrac{4}{{30}}$?

Ans: To solve the question, take the LCM of the denominators of 15 and 30.

The LCM of the denominator of 15 and 30 is 30.

Multiply numerator and denominator of $\dfrac{1}{{15}}$ by 2.

$\dfrac{{1 \times 2}}{{15 \times 2}} = \dfrac{2}{{30}}$

Since $\dfrac{2}{{30}} \ne \dfrac{4}{{30}}$ then, $\dfrac{1}{{15}} \ne \dfrac{4}{{30}}$.


8. Ila reads 25 pages of a book containing 100 pages. Lalita read $\dfrac{2}{5}$ of the same book. Who reads less?

Ans: Ila read 25 pages out of 100 pages, that is, $\dfrac{{25}}{{100}}$.

Lalita read $\dfrac{2}{5}$ of the book.

Multiply the numerator and denominator of the fraction $\dfrac{2}{5}$ by 20 to make the denominator equal to $\dfrac{{25}}{{100}}$.

$\dfrac{{2 \times 20}}{{5 \times 20}} = \dfrac{{40}}{{100}}$

Since $40 > 25$ then, $\dfrac{{40}}{{100}} > \dfrac{{25}}{{100}}$.

Hence, Ila read less.


9. Rafiq exercised for $\dfrac{3}{6}$ of an hour, while Rohit exercised for $\dfrac{3}{4}$for an hour. Who exercised for a longer time?

Ans: To solve the given question, make the denominator equal. To do so, multiply the numerator and denominator of $\dfrac{3}{6}$ and $\dfrac{3}{4}$ by 4 and 6 respectively.

$\dfrac{{3 \times 4}}{{6 \times 4}} = \dfrac{{12}}{{24}}$

$\dfrac{{3 \times 6}}{{4 \times 6}} = \dfrac{{18}}{{24}}$

The fraction, $\dfrac{{12}}{{24}}$ shows that twelve parts are selected out of twenty four parts and the fraction, $\dfrac{{18}}{{24}}$ shows that eighteen parts are selected out of twenty four parts. Thus, $\dfrac{{12}}{{24}} < \dfrac{{18}}{{24}}$, that is,$\dfrac{3}{6} < \dfrac{3}{4}$. Hence, Rohit exercised for a longer time.


10. In a class A of 25 students, 20 passed in first class; in another class B of 30 students, 24 students in first class. In which class was a greater fraction of students getting first class?

Ans: The fraction for the given problem will be $\dfrac{{{\text{Students passed}}}}{{{\text{Total students}}}}$.

In class A, 20 students passed out of 25 students, that is, $\dfrac{{20}}{{25}}$. Therefore,

$\dfrac{{{{20}}}}{{{{25}}}} = \dfrac{4}{5}$

In class B, 24 students passed out of 30 students, that is, $\dfrac{{24}}{{30}}$. Therefore,

$\dfrac{{{{24}}}}{{{{30}}}} = \dfrac{4}{5}$

Hence, each class has the same fraction of students getting a first class.
