Chapter 7 Fractions Exercise 7.1

Question 1 Write the fraction representing the shaded portion.

Question 1

Answer:
i)
Total parts = 4
Shaded parts = 2
Fraction = Shaded parts/Total parts
= 2/4 or 1/2

ii)
Total parts = 9
Shaded parts = 8
Fraction = Shaded parts/Total parts
= 8/9

iii)
Total parts = 8
Shaded parts = 4
Fraction = Shaded parts/Total parts
= 4/8 or 1/2

iv)
Total parts = 4
Shaded parts = 1
Fraction = Shaded parts/Total parts
= 1/4

v)
Total parts = 7
Shaded parts = 3
Fraction = Shaded parts/Total parts
= 3/7

vi)
Total parts = 12
Shaded parts = 3
Fraction = Shaded parts/Total parts
= 3/12 or 1/4

vii)
Total parts = 10
Shaded parts = 10
Fraction = Shaded parts/Total parts
= 10/10 or 1

viii)
Total parts = 9
Shaded parts = 4
Fraction = Shaded parts/Total parts
= 4/9

ix)
Total parts = 8
Shaded parts = 4
Fraction = Shaded parts/Total parts
= 4/8 or 1/2

x)
Total parts = 2
Shaded parts = 1
Fraction = Shaded parts/Total parts
= 1/2

Question 2: Colour the part according to the given fraction.

Answer:

Natural numbers from 2 to 12 = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 (11)
Prime numbers from 2 to 12 = 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 (5)
Fraction of natural numbers which are prime numbers = ?

= 5/11

Therefore, 5/11 of the natural numbers are prime numbers.

Question 9: Write the natural numbers from 102 to 113. What fraction of them are prime numbers?
Answer:

Natural number from 102 to 113 = 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113 (12)
Prime number from 102 to 113 = 103, 107, 109, 113
Fraction of natural numbers which are prime numbers = ?

= 4/12
= 1/3

Question 10: What fraction of these circles have X’s in them?

Question 10

Answer:
Total parts = 8
Shaded parts (Circles having X’s in them) = 4
Fraction = Shaded parts (Circles having X’s in them)/Total parts

= 4/8 or 1/2

Therefore, 1/2 or 4/8 of the fraction of the circles have X’s in them.

Question 11: Kristin received a CD player for her birthday. She bought 3 CDs and received 5 others as gifts. What fraction of her total CDs did she buy and what fraction did she receive as gifts?
