Question
Use parathas and number lines to show the following fractions in your notebook. (a) \(\frac{2}{3}\) and \(\frac{5}{3}\)
Answer

Draw a number line and divide each unit (0 to 1, 1 to 2) into 3 equal parts. Count 2 of these parts from O and mark that point as \(\frac{2}{3}\). Similarly, count 5 of these \(\frac{1}{3}\) parts from 0 and mark it as \(\frac{5}{3}\).
(b) \(\frac{3}{4}\) and \(\frac{5}{4}\)
Solution:
Draw a number line and divide each unit (0 to 1 and 1 to 2) into 4 equal parts. Count 3 of these \(\frac{1}{4}\) parts from 0 and mark as \(\frac{3}{4}\). Similarly, count 5 of these \(\frac{1}{4}\) parts from 0 and mark as \(\frac{5}{4}\).
(c) \(\frac{4}{8}\) and \(\frac{9}{8}\)
Solution:
Draw a number line and divide each unit (0 to 1, 1 to 2) into 8 equal parts. Count 4 of these \(\frac{1}{8}\) parts from O and mark as Similarly, count 9 of these \(\frac{1}{8}\) parts from 0 and mark as \(\frac{9}{8}\).
