L.C.M. of 5, 10, 15 and 30 = (5 $\times$ 2 $\times$ 3) = 30
So, we convert the given fractions into equivalent fractions with 30 as the denominator.
(But, one of the fractions already has 30 as its denominator. So, there is no need to convert it into an equivalent fraction.)
Thus, we have:
$\frac{3}{5} = \frac{3 \times 6}{5 \times 6} = \frac{18}{30}; \frac{7}{10} = \frac{7 \times 3}{10 \times 3} = \frac{21}{30}; \frac{8}{15} = \frac{8 \times 2}{15 \times 2} = \frac{16}{30}$

Hence, the required like fractions are $\frac{18}{30}, \frac{21}{30}, \frac{16}{30} and \frac{11}{30} .$

Question 3:

The given fractions are $\frac{3}{5}, \frac{7}{10}, \frac{8}{15} and \frac{11}{30} .$

So, we convert the given fractions into equivalent fractions with 30 as the denominator.
(But, one of the fractions already has 30 as its denominator. So, there is no need to convert it into an equivalent fraction.)
Thus, we have:
$\frac{3}{5} = \frac{3 \times 6}{5 \times 6} = \frac{18}{30}; \frac{7}{10} = \frac{7 \times 3}{10 \times 3} = \frac{21}{30}; \frac{8}{15} = \frac{8 \times 2}{15 \times 2} = \frac{16}{30}$

Hence, the required like fractions are $\frac{18}{30}, \frac{21}{30}, \frac{16}{30} and \frac{11}{30} .$

L.C.M. of 4, 8, 12 and 24 = (4 $\times$ 2 $\times$ 3) = 24
So, we convert the given fractions into equivalent fractions with 24 as the denominator.
(But one of the fractions already has 24 as the denominator. So, there is no need to convert it into an equivalent fraction.)
Thus, we have:
$\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1 \times 6}{4 \times 6} = \frac{6}{24}; \frac{5}{8} = \frac{5 \times 3}{8 \times 3} = \frac{15}{24}; \frac{7}{12} = \frac{7 \times 2}{12 \times 2} = \frac{14}{24}$

Question 4:

The given fractions are $\frac{1}{4}, \frac{5}{8}, \frac{7}{12} and \frac{13}{24} .$
L.C.M. of 4, 8, 12 and 24 = (4 $\times$ 2 $\times$ 3) = 24
So, we convert the given fractions into equivalent fractions with 24 as the denominator.
(But one of the fractions already has 24 as the denominator. So, there is no need to convert it into an equivalent fraction.)
Thus, we have:
$\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1 \times 6}{4 \times 6} = \frac{6}{24}; \frac{5}{8} = \frac{5 \times 3}{8 \times 3} = \frac{15}{24}; \frac{7}{12} = \frac{7 \times 2}{12 \times 2} = \frac{14}{24}$

Hence, the required like fractions are $\frac{6}{24}, \frac{15}{24}, \frac{14}{24} and \frac{13}{24} .$

$\frac{7}{9} = \frac{7 \times 4}{9 \times 4} = \frac{28}{36}; \frac{5}{12} = \frac{5 \times 3}{12 \times 3} = \frac{15}{36}; \frac{11}{18} = \frac{11 \times 2}{18 \times 2} = \frac{22}{36}$
Clearly, $\frac{28}{36} > \frac{22}{36} > \frac{17}{36} > \frac{15}{36}$

∴ â€‹ $\frac{7}{9} > \frac{11}{18} > \frac{17}{36} > \frac{5}{12}$

So, we convert each of the fractions into an equivalent fraction with denominator 30.
Thus, we have:
$\frac{2}{3} = \frac{2 \times 10}{3 \times 10} = \frac{20}{30}; \frac{3}{5} = \frac{3 \times 6}{5 \times 6} = \frac{18}{30}; \frac{7}{10} = \frac{7 \times 3}{10 \times 3} = \frac{21}{30}; \frac{8}{15} = \frac{8 \times 2}{15 \times 2} = \frac{16}{30}$
Clearly, $\frac{21}{30} > \frac{20}{30} > \frac{18}{30} > \frac{16}{30}$
∴ â€‹ $\frac{7}{10} > \frac{2}{3} > \frac{3}{5} > \frac{8}{15}$

Hence, the given fractions can be arranged in the descending order as follows:
$\frac{7}{10}, \frac{2}{3}, \frac{3}{5}, \frac{8}{15}$

We convert each one of the fractions whose denominator is not equal to 42 into an equivalent fraction with denominator 42.
Thus, we have:
$\frac{5}{7} = \frac{5 \times 6}{7 \times 6} = \frac{30}{42}; \frac{9}{14} = \frac{9 \times 3}{14 \times 3} = \frac{27}{42}; \frac{17}{21} = \frac{17 \times 2}{21 \times 2} = \frac{34}{42}$
Clearly, $\frac{34}{42} > \frac{31}{42} > \frac{30}{42} > \frac{27}{42}$
∴ â€‹ $\frac{17}{21} > \frac{31}{42} > \frac{5}{7} > \frac{9}{14}$
Hence, the given fractions can be arranged in the descending order as follows:
$\frac{17}{21}, \frac{31}{42}, \frac{5}{7}, \frac{9}{14}$

Answer:

Lalita read 30 pages of a book having 100 pages.
Sarita read $\frac{2}{5}$ of the same book.
$\frac{2}{5}$ of 100 pages = â€‹ $\frac{2}{5} \times 100 = \frac{200}{5} = 40 pages$
Hence, Sarita read more pages than Lalita as 40 is greater than 30.

Answer:

Cost of a pen = $Rs 16 \frac{2}{3} = Rs \frac{50}{3} = Rs \frac{50 \times 2}{3 \times 2} = Rs \frac{100}{6}$

Cost of a pencil = $Rs 4 \frac{1}{6} = Rs \frac{25}{6}$
$\frac{100}{6} > \frac{25}{6} ∴ Rs 16 \frac{2}{3} > Rs 4 \frac{1}{6}$
So, the cost of a pen is more than the cost of a pencil.
Difference between their costs:
$= Rs (\frac{50}{3} - \frac{25}{6}) = Rs (\frac{100 - 25}{6}) = Rs (\frac{75^{25}}{6_{2}}) = Rs (\frac{25}{2}) = Rs 12 \frac{1}{2}$
Hence, the cost of a pen is Rs $12 \frac{1}{2}$ more than the cost of a pencil.

Question 7:

Cost of a pen = $Rs 16 \frac{2}{3} = Rs \frac{50}{3} = Rs \frac{50 \times 2}{3 \times 2} = Rs \frac{100}{6}$

Cost of a pencil = $Rs 4 \frac{1}{6} = Rs \frac{25}{6}$
$\frac{100}{6} > \frac{25}{6} ∴ Rs 16 \frac{2}{3} > Rs 4 \frac{1}{6}$
So, the cost of a pen is more than the cost of a pencil.
Difference between their costs:
$= Rs (\frac{50}{3} - \frac{25}{6}) = Rs (\frac{100 - 25}{6}) = Rs (\frac{75^{25}}{6_{2}}) = Rs (\frac{25}{2}) = Rs 12 \frac{1}{2}$
Hence, the cost of a pen is Rs $12 \frac{1}{2}$ more than the cost of a pencil.

$The factors of 72 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72 . The factors of 90 are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 30, 45, 90 . The common factors of 72 and 90 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18 . H . C . F . of 72 and 90 is 18 . \frac{72 \div 18}{90 \div 18} = \frac{4}{5}$

(v)

$\frac{42}{54} = \frac{7}{9} \Rightarrow \frac{42 \div 6}{54 \div 6} = \frac{7}{9}$

Answer:

(a) T
(b) F    $(\frac{8}{1} - \frac{11}{6} = \frac{48 - 11}{6} = \frac{37}{6} = 6 \frac{1}{6})$
(c) F (Because like fractions have the same denominator.)
â€‹(d) F    (It lies between 0 and 1 as all proper fractions are less than 1.)
(e) T    (Because it is an improper fraction, while the others are proper fractions.)
