Maharashtra Board Class 5 Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Fractions Problem Set 18 14
Solution :
Least common multiple of 6 and 9 is 18 So, make 18 as common denominator 16=1×36×3=318,49=4×29×2=818 So, 3/18 and 8/18 are the required like fractions.

Comparing like fractions
Example (1) A strip was divided into 5 equal parts. It means that each part is 1/5 . The coloured part is 35=15+15+15.
Maharashtra Board Class 5 Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Fractions Problem Set 18 2

The white part is 25=15+15. The coloured part is bigger than the white part. This tells us that 3/5 is greater than 2/5. This is written as 3/5 > 2/5.

Example (2) This strip is divided into 8 equal parts. 3 of the parts have one colour and 4 have another colour. Here, 3/8 < 8/4.

In like fractions, the fraction with the greater numerator is the greater fraction.

Comparing fractions with equal numerators
You have learnt that the value of fractions with numerator 1 decreases as the denominator increases.

Even if the numerator is not 1, the same rule applies so long as all the fractions have a common numerator. For example, look at the figures below. All the strips in the figure are alike.
2 of the 3 equal parts of the strip Maharashtra Board Class 5 Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Fractions Problem Set 18 4
2 of the 4 equal parts of the strip Maharashtra Board Class 5 Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Fractions Problem Set 18 5
2 of the 5 equal parts of the strip Maharashtra Board Class 5 Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Fractions Problem Set 18 6
The figure shows that 2/3 > 2/4 > 5/2.

Of two fractions with equal numerators, the fraction with the greater denominator is the smaller fraction.

Comparing unlike fractions
Teacher : Suppose we have to compare the unlike fractions 3/5 and 4/7. Let us take an example to see how this is done. These two boys are standing on two blocks. How do we decide who is taller?

Sonu : But the height of the blocks is not the same. If both blocks are of the same height, it is easy to tell who is taller.

Nandu : Now that they are on blocks of equal height, we see that the boy on the right is taller.

Teacher : The height of the boys can be compared when they stand at the same height. Similarly, if fractions have the same denominators, their numerators decide which fraction is bigger.

Nandu : Got it! Let’s obtain the same denominators for both fractions.

Sonu : 5 × 7 can be divided by both 5 and 7. So, 35 can be the common denominator.

To compare unlike fractions, we convert them into their equivalent fractions so that their denominators are the same.

Additional Important Questions and Answers

Question 1.
