Solved Questions on Fractions

1. Which of the following is the lowest form of fraction 119/91 ?

a) 1¹⁄₁₃
b) 1²⁄₁₃
c) 1⁴⁄₁₃
d) 13/17

Answer: c) 1⁴⁄₁₃

Explanation: 7 is the common factor of the numerator and denominator of the fraction 119/91.

Therefore, lowest form of ¹¹⁹⁄₉₁  = (119 ÷ 7)/(91 ÷ 7) = ¹⁷⁄₁₃

In the lowest form of a fraction, the numerator 17 and denominator 13 have only one common factor of 1.

Simplest form in mixed fractions = ¹⁷⁄₁₃
                                               = ^{(13 + 4)}⁄₁₃
                                               = ¹³⁄₁₃  + ⁴⁄₁₃
                                               = 1 + ⁴⁄₁₃
                                               = 1⁴⁄₁₃

5. 140 kg of cashew sweets were bought for the marriage party. Out of which 2/5th was consumed by the guests. What amount of cashew sweets are left?

a) 56 kg
b) 72 kg
c) 80 kg
d) 84 kg

Answer: d) 84 kg

Explanation: Total weight of cashew sweets purchased = 140 kg

Out of which ²⁄₅th was consumed by the guests.

Amount of cashew sweets consumed = ²⁄₅ × 140 kg
                                                      = 2 × (¹⁴⁰⁄₅) kg
                                                      = 2 × 28 kg
                                                      = 56 kg

Amount of cashew sweets left = 140 − 56 = 84 kg
