Ex 7.5 Class 6 Maths Question 1. Write these fractions appropriately as additions or subtractions :
Answer
Ex 7.5 Class 6 Maths Question 2. Solve
(a) 1/18 + 1/18
(b) 8/15 + 3/15
(c) 7/7 – 5/7
(d) 1/22 + 21/22
(e) 12/15 – 7/15
(f) 5/8 + 3/8
(g) 1-2/3 (1=3/3)
(h) 1/4 + 0/4
(i) 3 – 12/15
Answer
(a) 1 / 18 + 1 / 18
= (1 + 1) / 18
= 2 / 18
= 1 / 9
(b) 8 / 15 + 3 / 15
= (8 + 3) / 15
= 11 / 15
(c) 7 / 7 – 5 / 7
= (7 – 5) / 7
= 2 / 7
(d) 1 / 22 + 21 / 22
= (1 + 21) / 22
= 22 / 22
= 1
(e) 12 /15 – 7 / 15
= (12 – 7) / 15
= 5 / 15
= 1 / 3
(f) 5 / 8 + 3 / 8
= (5 + 3) / 8
= 8 / 8
= 1
(g) 1 – 2 / 3
= 3 / 3 – 2 / 3
= (3 – 2) / 3
= 1 / 3
(h) 1 / 4 + 0
= 1/ 4
(i) 3 – 12 / 5
= 15 / 5 – 12/ 5
= (15 – 12) / 5
= 3 / 5
Ex 7.5 Class 6 Maths Question 3. Shubham painted 2/3 of the wall space in his room. His sister Madhavi helped and painted 1/3 of the wall space. How much did they paint together?
Answer
Wall space painted by Shubham in a room = 2 / 3
Wall space painted by Madhavi in a room = 1 / 3
Total space painted by both = (2 / 3 + 1 / 3)
= (2 + 1) / 3
= 3 / 3
= 1
Therefore, Shubham and Madhavi together painted 1 complete wall in a room.
Ex 7.5 Class 6 Maths Question 4. Fill in the missing fractions.
Answer
a) Given 7 / 10 – ▯ = 3 / 10
▯ = 7 / 10 – 3 / 10
▯ = (7 – 3) / 10
▯ = 4 / 10
▯ = 2 / 5
(b) Given ▯ – 3 / 21 = 5 / 21
▯ = 5 / 21 + 3 / 21
▯ = (5 + 3) / 21
▯ = 8 / 21
(c) Given ▯ – 3 / 6 = 3 / 6
▯ = 3 / 6 + 3 / 6
▯ = (3 + 3) / 6
▯ = 6 / 6
▯ = 1
(d) Given ▯ + 5 / 27 = 12 / 27
▯ = 12 / 27 – 5 /27
▯ = (12 – 5) / 27
▯ = 7 /27
Ex 7.5 Class 6 Maths Question 5. Javed was given 5/7 of a basket of oranges. What fraction of oranges was left in the basket?
Answer
Fraction of oranges given to Javed = 5 / 7
Fraction of oranges left in the basket = 1 – 5 / 7
= 7 / 7 – 5 / 7
= (7 – 5) / 7
= 2 / 7
