Step 1
We need to subtract the following unlike fractions:
716 14
and .
475 25
Let us first convert them to like fractions.
Step 2
Let us find the LCM of the denominators 475 and 25.
The LCM of 475 and 25 is 475.
Step 3
What should we multiply with the denominator 475 to get the LCM 475?
475
It is = 1.
475
So, the first fraction can be written as:
716 × 1 716
=
475 475
Step 4
Similarly, the second fraction can be written as:
14 × 19 266
=
475 475
Step 5
Let us now subtract the like fractions:
716 266

Let us now find the simplest form of the fraction , by dividing the numerator 450
475
and denominator 475, by their HCF.
The HCF of 450 and 475 = 25.

Therefore, after the 2 days, she reads 40 pages.

Step 1
The initial amount of money Shilpa had = Rs. 1995
Step 2

The amount of money Shilpa gives to her sister = of the initial money she had
15
8
= of Rs. 1995
15
8
= × 1995
15
= 8 × 133 ... (Dividing 1995 by 15)
= Rs. 1064
Step 3
The amount remaining with her after giving money to her sister = Amount Shilpa initially had -
Amount she gave to her sister
= Rs. 1995 - Rs. 1064
= Rs. 931
Step 4
The amount Shilpa gives to her brother = Rs. 266
Step 5
The remaining amount after giving money to her brother = Rs. 931 - Rs. 266 = Rs. 665
Step 6
Now, we know that the final amount of money left with Shilpa is Rs. 665. We need to find what
fraction of Rs. 1995 is Rs. 665. This fraction will be the one with the remaining amount as
665
numerator and the initial amount as denominator, that is, .
1995
Step 7
665
Let us now reduce to the simplest form by dividing both the denominator and the
1995
numerator by 665, the HCF of 665 and 1995:
665 665 ÷ 665
=
1995 1995 ÷ 665

=

Step 8

Hence, the fraction of the original amount that is left with Shilpa is .

We find that the two fractions are unlike fractions.
Let us now take the L.C.M of the denominators to convert them into like fractions.
L.C.M of 4 and 5 = 20
7 7 5 35
So, = × =
4 4 5 20
21 21 4 84
and = × =

Step 4
Now, let us add the two like fractions.
35 84 119
So, + =

Step 1
We see that the 5 out of 8 parts of figure A are shaded.
5
So, the fraction of shaded part of figure A =
8
Also, 4 out of 5 parts of figure B are shaded.
4
So, the fraction of shaded part of figure B =
5
Step 2
In order to add the unlike fractions, let us first convert them into like fractions.
L.C.M of 8 and 5 = 40
5 5 5 25
So, = × =

Step 1
If we look at the regular polygon carefully, we notice that there are 6 sides of a regular polygon.
1
Therefore, the length of a side of the regular polygon =
6
Step 2
28
Since, the distance walked by the cat on the periphery, in the clockwise direction =
30
Therefore, the number of sides walked by the cat on the regular polygon =
Distance walked by the cat
Length of a side of the polygon
28
30
=

6
28 6
= ×
30 1
28
=
5
= 5.6
It means that the cat walked on 5 sides of the regular polygon and the cat is walking on the 6th
side of the regular polygon, in the clockwise direction.
Step 3
28
Since, it started from point s, the cat will be on the side F, after walking distance on the
30
periphery in the clockwise direction.
Step 4
Hence, option b is the correct answer.

Step 1
A fraction represents a particular part of a whole entity.
Step 2
In the given figures we can see that the circles are divided into 11 parts each. The first 4 circles is
fully shaded, and in the last circle 5 out of 11 parts are shaded.
Step 3
This means that the first 4 circles will be represented by 4, and the last circle will be represented
5
by .
11
Step 4
5
So the mixed fraction that represents the shaded part in the figure is 4 .

Therefore, the fractions and are Like Fractions.
53 53
(14) A) 54
Step 1
We know that Equivalent fractions are obtained by multiplying or dividing the
numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same number.
Step 2
We can see that we have multiplied the denominator 13 with 9 to get the denominator
of another fraction as 117.
Step 3
Since both the fractions are equivalent, the numerator of the first fraction have to be
multiplied with the same number to get the numerator of the second fraction.
Step 4
This means the new numerator will be equal to 6 × 9 = 54.
B) 3
Step 1
Step 2
We can see that we have divided the denominator 40 by 8 to get the denominator of
another fraction as 5.
Step 3
Since both the fractions are equivalent, the numerator of the second fraction have to
be divided by the same number to get the numerator of the first fraction.
Step 4
24
This means the new numerator will be equal to = 3.
8
C) 11
Step 1
Step 2
We can see that we have divided the numerator 30 by 5 to get the numerator of
Step 3
Since both the fractions are equivalent, the denominator of the second fraction have to
be divided by the same number to get the denominator of the first fraction.
Step 4
55
This means the new denominator will be equal to = 11.
5
D) 4
Step 1
Step 2
We can see that we have divided the denominator 110 by 10 to get the denominator of
Step 3
Since both the fractions are equivalent, the numerator of the second fraction have to
be divided by the same number to get the numerator of the first fraction.
Step 4
40
This means the new numerator will be equal to = 4.

Step 1
5 6
The fractions and are unlike fractions as their denominators are different. We
1 7
will first convert the given fractions into equivalent like fractions.
Step 2
Let us first find the LCM of the denominators 7 and 1. The LCM is 7.
Step 3
5
To write as an equivalent fraction which has 7 as denominator, we need to
1
7
multiply both the numerator and denominator by = 7. So, the equivalent fraction is:
1
5×7 35
=
1×7 7
Step 4
6
Similarly, to write as an equivalent fraction which has 7 as denominator, we need
7
7
to multiply both the numerator and denominator by = 1. So, the equivalent fraction
7
is:
6×1 6
=
7×1 7
Step 5
Now, we can add the equivalent like fractions by adding the numerators together and
keeping the denominator same:
35 6 35 + 6 41
+ = =
7 7 7 7
Step 6
41
In order to convert the fraction in the simplest/lowest form, let us divide both the
7
numerator and denominator by their HCF.
Step 7
The HCF of 41 and 7 is 1.
Step 8
