Answer
View full question & answer→In the given number lines each part represents $\frac{1}{2}$. Since Raman ate 6 pieces of $\frac{1}{2}$ parathas, mark 6 points on number line.
$\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{6}{2}$
Therefore, Raman ate 3 parathas.
Dadaji ate 7 pieces of $\frac{1}{2}$ paratha. So, mark 7 points on number line.
$\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{7}{2}=3 \frac{1}{2}$
Therefore, dadaji ate $3 \frac{1}{2}$ parathas.
Baba ate 5 pieces of $\frac{1}{2}$ paratha. So, mark 5 points on number line.
$\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}=2 \frac{1}{2}$
Therefore, Baba are $2 \frac{1}{2}$ parathas.
$\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{6}{2}$
Therefore, Raman ate 3 parathas.
Dadaji ate 7 pieces of $\frac{1}{2}$ paratha. So, mark 7 points on number line.
$\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{7}{2}=3 \frac{1}{2}$
Therefore, dadaji ate $3 \frac{1}{2}$ parathas.
Baba ate 5 pieces of $\frac{1}{2}$ paratha. So, mark 5 points on number line.
$\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}=2 \frac{1}{2}$
Therefore, Baba are $2 \frac{1}{2}$ parathas.
