#### Exercise 6.5

Q1. Write the fractions and check whether they are equivalent or not :

(i) Fraction = $\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }$

Fraction = $\frac{ 2 }{ 4 }$ = $\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }$

(iii) Denominator 21

(iv) Numerator 40

Ans :

(i) $\frac{ 3 }{ 5 }$ = 9

Consider the numerator = 9

Firstly, we will reduce $\frac{ 35 }{ 42 }$ into the lowest term. Now, we will divide both the numerator and denominator by the HCFs of 35 and 42 , i.e 7, we have

$\frac{ 35 }{ 42 } \div \frac{ 7 }{ 7 }$ = $\frac{ 5 }{ 6 }$

(i) $\frac{ 5 }{ 6 }$ = 15

Consider the numerator = 15

As 5 x 3 = 15, we will multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3 , we have

$\frac{ 5 }{ 6 }$ x $\frac{ 3 }{ 3 }$ = $\frac{ 15 }{ 18 }$

(ii) $\frac{ 5 }{ 6 }$ = 18

Consider the denominator = 18

As 6 x 3 = 18 , we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3, we have

$\frac{ 5 }{ 6 }$ x $\frac{ 3 }{ 3 }$ = $\frac{ 15 }{ 18 }$

(iii) $\frac{ 5 }{ 6 }$ = 30

Consider the denominator = 30

As 6 x 5 = 30 , we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 5, we have

$\frac{ 5 }{ 6 }$ x $\frac{ 5 }{ 5 }$ = $\frac{ 25 }{ 30 }$

(iv) $\frac{ 5 }{ 6 }$ = 30

Consider the numerator = 30

As 5 x 6 = 30 , we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 6, we have

Ans.

(i) $\frac{ 5 }{ 9 }$ x $\frac{ 6 }{ 6 }$ = $\frac{ 30 }{ 54 }$

Hence, the given fractions are equivalent

(ii) $\frac{ 2 }{ 7 }$ x $\frac{ 8 }{ 8 }$ = $\frac{ 16 }{ 42 }$

27 is not equivalent to $\frac{ 16 }{ 42 }$

(iii) $\frac{ 7 }{ 13 }$ x $\frac{ 5 }{ 5 }$ = $\frac{ 35 }{ 65 }$

$\frac{ 5 }{ 11 }$ x $\frac{ 7 }{ 7 }$ = $\frac{ 35 }{ 77 }$

$\frac{ 7 }{ 13 }$ is not equivalent to $\frac{ 5 }{ 11 }$

(iv) $\frac{ 4 }{ 11 }$ x $\frac{ 8 }{ 8 }$ = $\frac{ 32 }{ 88 }$

$\frac{ 4 }{ 11 }$ is equivalent to $\frac{ 32 }{ 88 }$

Q9. Write some equivalent fractions which contain all digits from 1 to 9 once only.

Ans . $\frac{ 2 }{ 6 }$ = $\frac{ 3 }{ 9 }$ = $\frac{ 58 }{ 174 }$ , $\frac{ 2 }{ 4 }$ = $\frac{ 3 }{ 6 }$ = $\frac{ 79 }{ 158 }$

Q 10. Ravish had 20 pencils , sikha had 50 pencils and priya had 80 pencils. After 4 months, Ravish used up 10 pencils, sikha used up 25 pencils and priya used 40 pencils. What fraction did each use up? Check if each has used up an equal fraction of their pencils?

Ans :

Total pencils Ravish had = 20

Pencils used by Ravish = 10

Fraction of pencils used by ravish = $10 \div \frac{ 10 }{ 20 } \div 10 = 12$ ( Dividing both the numerator & denominator by the HCFs of 10 & 20 )

Total pencils Shikha had = 50 Pencils used by Shikha = 25 Fraction of pencils used by Shikha = $25 \div \frac{ 25 }{ 50 } \div 25 = 12$ ( Dividing both the numerator & denominator by the HCFs of 25 & 50 )

Total pencils Priya had = 80

Pencils used by Priya = 40

Fraction of pencils used by Priya = $40 \div \frac{ 40 }{ 80 } \div 40 = 12$ ( Dividing both the numerator & denominator by the HCFs of 40 & 80 )

Yes, each of them has utilized an equal fraction of pencils.
