Kanchan dyes dresses, she had to dye $30$ dresses. She has so far finished $20$ dresses. What fraction of dresses has she finished?
Answer
Kanchan had dyes $30$ dresses. She has finished $20$ dresses.
So fraction of dresses she has finished = $\frac{20}{30}=\;\frac{20\div10}{30\;\div\;10}=\;\frac23$
$\therefore $ She has finished $\;\frac23$ fraction of the dresses.
What fraction of these circles have $'X's$ in them?
Answer
Total number of circles $= 8$
Numbers of circles which $'X's$ in them $= 4$
$\therefore $ Required fraction = $\frac48=\;\frac{4\div4}{8\;\div\;4}=\;\frac12$
The fractions are unlike.
We should first get their equivalent fractions with a denominator which is a common multiple of $6$ and $15.$
Now, $\frac{5 \times 5}{6 \times 5}=\frac{25}{30}, \frac{13 \times 2}{15 \times 2}=\frac{26}{30}$
Since ${26}>{25}$
Therefore, $\frac{13}{15}>\frac{5}{6}$
Find the equivalent fraction of $\frac{2}{5}$ with numerator $6.$
Answer
We know that, $2$ $\times$ $3 = 6.$
Hence, we need to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by $3$ to get the equivalent fraction.
Therefore, $\frac{2}{5}=\frac{2 \times 3}{5 \times 3}=\frac{6}{15} $
$\therefore \frac{6}{15}$ is the required equivalent fraction.
$\frac{11}{3}$ can be expressed as a mixed fraction as,
i.e. $3$ whole and $\frac{2}{3}$ more, or $3 \frac{2}{3}$
Therefore, $\frac{11}{3}$ = $3 \frac{2}{3}$
