A part of a whole number or any number of equl parts can be represented by a fraction. For example: 3
,
5 3
,
9 7
.
2 5 3
Here in , 2 is the numerator and 3 is the denominator.We can say the similer thing for 𝑎𝑛𝑑 .

b) Improper fraction: A fraction that has numerator more than or equal to the denominator,is called an
5 16 4
improper fraction.Example: , , .

TOPIC 5
Now, we have to learn about “FRACTION IN LOWEST TERMS”. What does it means?Lets
learn about it through some examples.
50
Example 6: Reduce 98 to its lowest form.
Solution: At first we have to find out the factors of 50 and 98 .
Factors of 50 = 2,5 and 5.
Factors of 98 = 2,7 and 7
so, H.C.F of 50 and 98 is 2 [As, 2 is the only common factor,we can find from 50 and 98]
50 50÷2 25
Now, 98
= 98÷2 = 49 .
50 25
=> =
98 49
156
Example 7: Reduce 180 to its lowest form.
Solution: At first, we have to find out the factors of 156 and 180 .
Factors of 156 = 2,2,3 and 13.
Factors of 180 = 2,2,3,3 and 5.
so, H.C.F of 156 and 180 is (2×2×3)=12 [As 2, 2 and 3 are the common factors, we can find
from 156 and 180]
156 156÷12 13
Now, 180 = 180÷12 = 15 .
156 13
=> = .
180 15
 TOPIC 6
Comparing fractions:
5 7 1 3
Find out the larger fraction from:- i) 6 and 12 , ii) 9 and 4
Solution: i)To find out the largest fraction ,firstly we have to find out L.C.M of denominators
of the fractions.
so here L.C.M of denominators of these two fraction is 12 [L.C.M of 6 and 12 is 12]
Now, we have to convert the given fractions to equivalent fraction with denominator 12.
5 5×2 10
6
= 6×2 = 12
It is clear that, 10 > 7
5 7
So, 6 > 12.

ii) To find out the largest fraction ,firstly we have to find out L.C.M of denominators of the
fractions.
so here L.C.M of denominators of these two fraction is 36 [L.C.M of 9 and 4 is 36]
Now, we have to convert the given fractions to equivalent fraction with denominator 36.
1 1×4 4
9
= 9×4 = 36
3 3×9 27
and, 4 = 4×9 = 36
It is clear that, 27 > 4 .
3 1
So, 4 > 9 .
5 7 3 2
Example 8: Arrange the fraction in descending order- , , , .
8 12 4 5

2|8, 12, 4, 5
2 4,6,2,5
2, 3, 1, 5
L.C.M of denominators 8, 12, 4 and 5 is =2×2×2×3×1×5 = 120
Now, we have to convert the given fractions to equivalent fraction with denominator 120.
5 5×15 75
8
= 8×15 = 120 ;

7 7×10 70
= = ;
12 12×10 120

3 3×30 90
4
= 4×30 = 120 ;

2 2×24 48
5
= 5×24 = 120

It is clear that, 90 > 75 >70 > 48 .

3 5 7 2
So, 4 > 8
> 12
>5.
 8 8 8 8
Note: 11

. [If two fractions have different denominators but same numerators then the
fraction with greater denominator is the smallest fraction]

TOPIC 7
Addition and Subtraction of fractions:
(i)When we are adding or subtracting like fractions,we have to addor subtract their numerators and
their common denominator will be same.
8 4 8+4 12
Example 9: 13
+ 13 = 13
= 13

16 11 16−11 5
Example 10: – = =

Example 11: 3 – − + = = = = = [after reducing to
11 11 11 11 21 21 21 21 7

ii) When adding or subtracting unlike fractions:

3 8 3 1 2 5 3 4
Example 12: Add – (𝑎) 5 + 15 ; (b) 2 5 + 5 10 ; (c) 1 3 + 8 + 4 + 2 15
3 8 (3×3)+8
Solution: – (𝑎) + = [L.C.M of 5and 15 is 15]
5 15 15

3 1 (5×2)+3 (5×10)+1 10+3 50+1 13 51 (13×2)+51

(b) 2 + 5 = + = + = + = [L.C.M of 5 and 10 is 10]

(c) 1 3 + 8 + 4 + 2 15 = 3
+8+4+ 15
= 3
+ 8 + 4 + 15
5 5 3 34
= 3 + 8 + 4 + 15
(40×5)+(15×5)+(30×3)+(8×34)
= 120
[L.C.M of 3,8,4 and 15 is 120]
200+75+90+272 637 37
= 120
= 120 = 5 120 .

2 5 5 1
Example 13: Solve these: (a) 7 – 14 (b) − 8 – 4
2 5 (2×2)−5
Solution: (a) 7 – 14 = [L. C. M of 7 and 14 is 14]
14
4−5 1
= 14 = - 14 .

5 1 5 1 5+2 7
(b) − 8 – 4 = - (8 + 4) = -( 8

 2 1 3 1
Example 14: Solve: 1 5 – 7 + 14 – 2
2 1 3 1 5+2 1 3 1 7 1 3 1 (7×14)−(10×1)+(3×5)−(35×1)
Solution: 1 – + – = – + – = – + – =
5 7 14 2 5 7 14 2 5 7 14 2 70
[L.C.M of 2,5,7 and 14 is 70]
98−10+15−35 68 4

= 14 = 47 .

Example 15: Soma’s mother gaves her 8 part of a bread and her sister gets 10 part of that bread. Who
get the less amount between the two sisters?
Solution: To solve this, firstly we have to convert the two unlike fraction into like fraction.
L.C.M of denominators (8 and 10) of the two fractions is 40
5 5×5 25
8
= 8×5 = 40
7 7×4 28
and, 10 = 10×4 = 40
It is clear that, 25 < 28.
5
That means, 8 part is less.
So, Soma gets the less amount of the bread.

1 1 3 3
Example 16: Solve the following: (a) 3- 5 ; (b)52 – 4 ; (c) 4+ 5
1 (3×5)−1 15−1 14 4
Solution: (a) 3- 5 = 5
= 5
= 5
= 25 .

1 3 11 3 (11×2)−3 22−3 19
(b)52 – 4 = 2
–4= 4
= 4
= 4
.

3 (4×5)+3 20+3 23 3
(c) 4+ 5 = 5
= 5
= 5 = 45 .

Example 17: Arun’s father gave him 5 kg Guava and, and his mother gave him 2 Strawberry.How
3 6
many kg of fruits now he has?
2 1
Solution: Total weight of fruits he has (53 + 2 6) kg.
2 1 (3×5)+2 (2×6)+1 15+2 12+1 17 13 (17×2)+13 34+13 47 5
so, (53 + 2 6) = 3
+ 6
= 3
+ 6 = 3 + 6
= 6
= 6
= 6
=76 kg.

5
Hence, now Arun has 76 kg fruits.

2
Example 18: Mala devi gave 5 part of her property to her only daughter and the remaining was given to
her niece.who get the smaller part of the property?How much smaller?
2
Solution: Given, part of property given to her daughter = 5
2 5−2 3
so, part of the property given to her niece =(1- 5) = 5
=5
It is clear that, 3>2
So , Mala devi gave the smaller part of her property to her niece.
Now, lets check smaller part was how much small
3 2 1
(5 − 5) = 5 .
1
Hence, her daughter gets 5 less than her niece.

Example 19: In a figure, RST is triangle and PQRS is a rectangle.Here, RS=2 cm, RT= cm, QR= 2 cm
3 6 4
4
and, ST= 3 cm. Find the total perimeter of the total figure and also find either RST or PQRS has smaller

5 1
Solution: From the figure we find that, RT= 6 𝑐𝑚 and, QR= 24 cm
1
QR = PS = 24 cm
2
and given, RS = 23 cm
2
RS=PQ=2 cm
3
So, perimeter of the rectangle PQRS = PQ+QR+RS+SP

=(23 +24 +23 +24) cm

=( + ) = [L.C.M of 3 and 4 is 12]

118
= 12 cm

4 2
Given,ST= 3 cm and, RS=23 cm
5
and, from the figure we know that, TR = 6 cm
so, perimeter of the triangle RST = RS+ST+TR
2 4 5 8 4 5
=(23 + 3 + 6) cm = + +
3 3 6
12 5 8 4
= + [As, and are like fractions ]
3 6 3 3
24+5 29
= 6 = 6 cm.
So, the total perimeter of the figure is =perimeter of(rectangle PQRS + triangle RST)
118 29 118+58 176 2
= ( 12 + 6
)𝑐𝑚 = 12
= 12 =143 cm.

Now, let check which have the smaller perimeter:

118
perimeter of the rectangle PQRS = 12
cm
29 29×2 58 118
and, the perimeter of the triangle = cm = = [after converting into like fraction of ]
6 6×2 12 12
It is clear that, 58 < 118
Hence, the triangle has the smaller perimeter.

Solution: ( 28 of 18 ) = ( 28 × 18 ) = 28×18 = 63

and, ( 45 of 19 ) = ( 45 × 19

Now,to find out the smaller one we have to convert the fraction into equivalent fraction.
L.C.M of 63 and 9 is 63

It is clear that, 46 < 98 .

Example 25: Aradhya brought 5 3 litre milk cost 453 per litre. If she brought 34 litre,how much rupees
she has to pay ?
1 1 1 136 13
Solution: If she brought 34 litre,how much rupees she has to pay (453 × 3 4) = 3
× 4
34 442 1
= 3 × 13 = 3 = 147 3
rupees.

Example 26: A square has a side of 153 m.What is the area of that square?

Solution: We know that, all side of a square is equal.

2
So, length of the square= bredth of that square = 153 m.
2 2 47 47 2209 4
So, the area of that square = (153 × 153) = 3
× 3
= 9
= 245 9 m2.

Example 27: Sunidhi studied 9 of a horror story book in day 1, and; 8
of the book in day 2 .What number
of pages she has to read to complete the book in the next day ,if it contains 144 pages?
2
Solution: In day 1 she reads ,( 9 of 144)pages = (2×16) pages =32 pages
 5
In day 2 she reads ,( of 144)pages = (2×18) pages =36 pages
8
Remaining=144-(32+36)=144-68=76 pages.
Hence, 76 pages she has to read to complete the book in the next day.
