Answer:

We have the following:

(i) $\frac{5}{8} and \frac{7}{12}$

By cross multiplication, we get:
5 $\times$ 12 = 60 and 7 $\times$ 8 = 56
However, 60 > 56
∴ $\frac{5}{8} > \frac{7}{12}$

(ii) $\frac{5}{9} and \frac{11}{15}$
By cross multiplication, we get:
5 $\times$ 15 = 75 and 9 $\times$ 11 = 99
However, 75 < 99
∴ $\frac{5}{9} < \frac{11}{15}$

(iii) $\frac{11}{12} and \frac{15}{16}$
By cross multiplication, we get:
11 $\times$ 16 = 176 and 12 $\times$ 15 = 180
However, 176 < 180
∴ $\frac{11}{12} < \frac{15}{16}$

Answer:

(i) The given fractions are $\frac{3}{4}, \frac{5}{6}, \frac{7}{9} and \frac{11}{12}$ .

LCM of 4, 6, 9 and 12 = 36

Now, let us change each of the given fractions into an equivalent fraction with 72 as its denominator.
$\frac{3}{4} = \frac{3 \times 9}{4 \times 9} = \frac{27}{36}$

$\frac{5}{6} = \frac{5 \times 6}{6 \times 6} = \frac{30}{36}$

$\frac{7}{9} = \frac{7 \times 4}{9 \times 4} = \frac{28}{36}$

$\frac{11}{12} = \frac{11 \times 3}{12 \times 3} = \frac{33}{36}$

Clearly, $\frac{27}{36} < \frac{28}{36} < \frac{30}{36} < \frac{33}{36}$

Hence, $\frac{3}{4} < \frac{7}{9} < \frac{5}{6} < \frac{11}{12}$

∴ The given fractions in ascending order are $\frac{3}{4}, \frac{7}{9}, \frac{5}{6} and \frac{11}{12} .$

(ii) The given fractions are: $\frac{4}{5}, \frac{7}{10}, \frac{11}{15} and \frac{17}{20} .$

LCM of 5, 10, 15 and 20 = 60

Now, let us change each of the given fractions into an equivalent fraction with 60 as its denominator.

$\frac{4}{5} = \frac{4 \times 12}{5 \times 12} = \frac{48}{60}$

$\frac{7}{10} = \frac{7 \times 6}{10 \times 6} = \frac{42}{60}$

$\frac{11}{15} = \frac{11 \times 4}{15 \times 4} = \frac{44}{60}$

$\frac{17}{20} = \frac{17 \times 3}{20 \times 3} = \frac{51}{60}$

Clearly, $\frac{42}{60} < \frac{44}{60} < \frac{48}{60} < \frac{51}{60}$

Hence, $\frac{7}{10} < \frac{11}{15} < \frac{4}{5} < \frac{17}{20}$

∴ The given fractions in ascending order are $\frac{7}{10}, \frac{11}{15}, \frac{4}{5} and \frac{17}{20} .$

Answer:

We have the following:
(i) The given fractions are $\frac{3}{4}, \frac{7}{8}, \frac{7}{12} and \frac{17}{24} .$

LCM of 4,8,12 and 24 = 24

Now, let us change each of the given fractions into an equivalent fraction with 24 as its denominator.
$\frac{3}{4} = \frac{3 \times 6}{4 \times 6} = \frac{18}{24}$

$\frac{7}{8} = \frac{7 \times 3}{8 \times 3} = \frac{21}{24}$

$\frac{7}{12} = \frac{7 \times 2}{12 \times 2} = \frac{14}{24}$

$\frac{17}{24} = \frac{17 \times 1}{24 \times 1} = \frac{17}{24}$

Clearly, $\frac{21}{24} > \frac{18}{24} > \frac{17}{24} > \frac{14}{24}$

Hence, $\frac{7}{8} > \frac{3}{4} > \frac{17}{24} > \frac{7}{12}$

∴ The given fractions in descending order are $\frac{7}{8}, \frac{3}{4}, \frac{17}{24} and \frac{7}{12} .$

(ii) The given fractions are $\frac{2}{3}, \frac{3}{5}, \frac{7}{10} and \frac{8}{15} .$
LCM of 3,5,10 and 15 = 30
Now, let us change each of the given fractions into an equivalent fraction with 30 as its denominator.
$\frac{2}{3} = \frac{2 \times 10}{3 \times 10} = \frac{20}{30}$

$\frac{3}{5} = \frac{3 \times 6}{5 \times 6} = \frac{18}{30}$

$\frac{7}{10} = \frac{7 \times 3}{10 \times 3} = \frac{21}{30}$

$\frac{8}{15} = \frac{8 \times 2}{15 \times 2} = \frac{16}{30}$

Clearly, $\frac{21}{30} > \frac{20}{30} > \frac{18}{30} > \frac{16}{30}$

Hence, $\frac{7}{10} > \frac{2}{3} > \frac{3}{5} > \frac{8}{15}$

∴ The given fractions in descending order are $\frac{7}{10}, \frac{2}{3}, \frac{3}{5} and \frac{8}{15}$ .

Answer:

We will compare the given fractions $\frac{2}{7} and \frac{4}{5}$ in order to know who got the larger part of the apple.
We have,
By cross multiplication, we get:
2 $\times$ 5 = 10 and 4 $\times$ 7 = 28

However, 10 < 28
∴ $\frac{2}{7} < \frac{4}{5}$
Thus, Sonal got the larger part of the apple.

Now, $\frac{4}{5} - \frac{2}{7} = \frac{28 - 10}{35} = \frac{18}{35}$

∴ Sonal got $\frac{18}{35}$ part of the apple more than Reenu.

Answer:

First we have to compare the fractions: $\frac{2}{3} and \frac{5}{9}$ .
By cross multiplication, we have:
2 $\times$ 9 = 18 and 5 $\times$ 3 = 15

However, 18 > 15
∴ $\frac{2}{3} > \frac{5}{9}$

So, $\frac{2}{3}$ is larger than $\frac{5}{9}$ .
Now, $\frac{2}{3} - \frac{5}{9}$

= $\frac{6 - 5}{9}$ [∵ LCM of 3 and 9 = 9]
= $\frac{1}{9}$
Hence, $\frac{2}{3}$ is $\frac{1}{9}$ part more than $\frac{5}{9}$ .

Answer:

First, we have to compare the cost of the pen and the pencil.
Cost of the pen = Rs $16 \frac{3}{5} = Rs \frac{83}{5}$

Cost of the pencil = Rs $4 \frac{3}{4} = Rs \frac{19}{4}$
Now, we have to compare fractions $\frac{83}{5} and \frac{19}{4} .$
By cross multiplication, we get:

83 $\times$ 4 = 332 and 19 $\times$ 5 = 95

However, 332 > 95

∴ $\frac{83}{5} > \frac{19}{4}$

So, the cost of pen is more than that of the pencil.
Now, $Rs (\frac{83}{5} - \frac{19}{4})$

= $Rs (\frac{332 - 95}{20})$ [∵ LCM of 4 and 5 = 20]

= $Rs \frac{237}{20} = Rs 11 \frac{17}{20}$

∴ The pen costs Rs $11 \frac{17}{20}$ more than the pencil.

Answer:

(b) $\frac{3}{5} < \frac{2}{3} < \frac{14}{15}$

The given fractions are $\frac{3}{5}, \frac{2}{3} and \frac{14}{15} .$

LCM of 5, 3 and 15 = 15

Now, we have:

$\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{5}{5} = \frac{10}{15}$ , $\frac{3}{5} \times \frac{3}{3} = \frac{9}{15}$ and $\frac{14}{15} \times \frac{1}{1} = \frac{14}{15}$

Clearly, $\frac{9}{15} < \frac{10}{15} < \frac{14}{15}$

∴ $\frac{3}{5} < \frac{2}{3} < \frac{14}{15}$

Answer:

Cost of 1 L of milk = Rs $37 \frac{3}{4}$ = Rs $\frac{151}{4}$
Cost of $6 \frac{2}{5}$ L of milk = Rs $(\frac{151}{4} \times 6 \frac{2}{5})$
= Rs $(\frac{151}{4} \times \frac{32}{5})$
= Rs $(\frac{151 \times 8}{1 \times 5})$ = Rs $\frac{1208}{5}$ = Rs $241 \frac{3}{5}$
Hence, the cost of $6 \frac{2}{5}$ L of milk is Rs $241 \frac{3}{5}$ .

Answer:

Cost of $5 \frac{1}{4}$ kg of mangoes = Rs 189
Cost of 1 kg of mango = Rs $(189 \div 5 \frac{1}{4})$
                                   = Rs $(189 \div \frac{21}{4})$
                                   = Rs $(189 \times \frac{4}{21})$       [∵ Reciprocal of $\frac{21}{4}$ = $\frac{4}{21}$ ]
                                   = Rs (9 $\times$ 4) = Rs 36

Hence, the mangoes are being sold at Rs 36 per kg.

                            = $\frac{56}{9} \times \frac{3}{14}$     [∵ Reciprocal of $\frac{14}{3}$ = $\frac{3}{14}$ ]

                            = $\frac{4}{3}$ = $1 \frac{1}{3}$

Hence, we have to divide $6 \frac{2}{9}$ by $1 \frac{1}{3}$ to obtain $4 \frac{2}{3}$ .

(i) The reciprocal of $8 \frac{2}{5}$ is $\frac{5}{42}$ .

Reciprocal of $8 \frac{2}{5}$ = Reciprocal of $\frac{42}{5}$ = $\frac{5}{42}$

(ii) $13 \frac{1}{2} \div 8 = 1 \frac{11}{16}$

     $13 \frac{1}{2} \div 8 = \frac{27}{2} \times \frac{1}{8} = \frac{27}{16} = 1 \frac{11}{16}$

(iii) $69 \frac{3}{4} \div 7 \frac{3}{4} = 9$

$69 \frac{3}{4} \div 7 \frac{3}{4} = \frac{279}{4} \div \frac{31}{4}$

= $\frac{279}{4} \times \frac{4}{31} = \frac{279}{31}$ = 9

(iv) $41 \frac{2}{3} \div 18 \frac{3}{5} = 775$

        $41 \frac{2}{3} \times 18 \frac{3}{5} = \frac{125}{3} \times \frac{93}{5}$

       = $\frac{125}{3} \times \frac{93}{5} = \frac{25 \times 31}{1 \times 1} = 775$

(v) $\frac{84}{98}$ (irreducible form) = $\frac{6}{7}$

The HCF of 84 and 98 is 14.

Answer:

(i) F

     By cross multiplication, we have:

     9 $\times$ 24 = 216 and 13 $\times$ 16 = 208

     However, 216 > 208

     ∴ $\frac{9}{16} > \frac{13}{24}$

(ii) F

      The LCM of 5, 35 and 14 is 70.

      Now, $\frac{2}{5} = \frac{2}{5} \times \frac{14}{14} = \frac{28}{70}; \frac{16}{35} = \frac{16}{35} \times \frac{2}{2} = \frac{32}{70} and \frac{9}{14} = \frac{9}{14} \times \frac{5}{5} = \frac{45}{70}$

      Clearly, $\frac{28}{70} < \frac{32}{70} < \frac{45}{70}$

      ∴ $\frac{2}{5} < \frac{16}{35} < \frac{9}{14}$

(iii) T

       The LCM of 15 and 20 = (5 $\times$ 3 $\times$ 4) = 60
