Question

Which of the following pairs of fractions is/are unlike fractions?

• A. $\frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{1}{5}$
• B. $\frac{2}{3}$ and $\frac{2}{7}$
• C. $\frac{2}{5}$ and $\frac{1}{3}$
• D. $\frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{2}{3}$

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

The correct options are
A $\frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{1}{5}$
B $\frac{2}{3}$ and $\frac{2}{7}$
C $\frac{2}{5}$ and $\frac{1}{3}$

For $\frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{1}{5}$, the denominators are not the same. Hence they are unlike fractions.

For $\frac{2}{3}$ and $\frac{2}{7}$, the denominators are not the same. Hence they are unlike fractions.

For $\frac{2}{5}$ and $\frac{1}{3}$, the denominators are not the same. Hence they are unlike fractions.

For $\frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{2}{3}$, the denominator are the same. Hence they are like fractions and not unlike fractions.
