Question

Raju scored $16$ marks of $25$. Its fractional form is:

Answer 1

Hint: Fractions are numerical values that are a part of the whole. A fractional number is represented by \[\dfrac{a}{b}\], and it must be provided that \[b \ne 0\]. So we have to convert the given number in fractional part i.e. \[\dfrac{a}{b}\]and where \[b \ne 0\].

Complete step by step answer:
According to the question Raju scored $16$ marks out of $25$, so the test must be of total marks $25$ and in which Raju got $16$ marks. Now we have to convert this marks obtained by Raju into fractional form
i.e. \[\dfrac{a}{b}\]such that\[b \ne 0\].
The fractional form of the number is combination of two parts in which first is numerator and second part is denominator, where the number which lies at top of fraction is known as numerator and the number which lie bottom of the fraction is known as denominator. It can be understood by taking a example of a whole week which divided into seven different days (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday), so if we select any one day from the week then it can presented by a fraction \[\dfrac{1}{7}\], another example is the slice of pizza.
As we know that a fractional number has two parts, numerator and denominator, and when we talk about marks then numerator will be the total marks obtained by a student and denominator will be the maximum marks that can be obtained by a student.
So marks obtained by Raju will be the numerator and the maximum marks will be the denominator.
Hence the fractional form of the marks obtained by Raju is\[\dfrac{{16}}{{25}}\].

Note:Here the fractional form of the marks obtained by raju (\[\dfrac{{16}}{{25}}\]) is in proper fraction because here numerator is less than denominator. While in an improper fraction the numerator part is greater than the denominator. If we divide the fraction and multiplied by a hundred then it is the percentage of the given problem.
