Solved Questions on Fraction

1. When Thor buys a ready-made shirt, two-fifths of my pocket money is spent. If $1836 is still left with me, what is the money I had before I bought the shirt?

a) $1101.60
b) $3010.00
c) $3030.00
d) $3060.00

Answer: d) $3060.00

Explanation: Fraction of amount spent on shirt = $\frac{\frac{2}{}}{\frac{5}{}}$ × 1 = $\frac{\frac{2}{}}{\frac{5}{}}$
Fraction of balance amount = 1 − $\frac{\frac{2}{}}{\frac{5}{}}$ = $\frac{\frac{3}{}}{\frac{5}{}}$

Now, $\frac{\frac{3}{}}{\frac{5}{}}$ of total money = $1836

Total money = $1836 × $\frac{\frac{5}{}}{\frac{3}{}}$ = $3060

2. A string of length 25200 centimetres is cut into pieces each of length 5 ¼  metres. How many pieces are obtained?

a) 24 
b) 48
c) 2400
d) 4800

Answer: b) 48 

Explanation: Length of string in metre = 25200 cm ÷ 100 = 252 m
Length of each piece = 5 1⁄4  m = 21/4 m
Number of pieces = 252 ÷ 21/4
                              = 252 × 4/21
                              = 12 × 4
                              = 48

3. Hercules’s home is 7/10 kilometres from his school. He walked some distance and then took a van for 2/3 kilometres up to the school. How far did he walk?

a) 1/15
b) 2/15
c) 1/30
d) 7/30

Answer: c) 1/30

Explanation: Distance of Hercules’s home from his school = 7/10 km

Distance covered by a van = 2/3 km

Distance of Hercules’s home from his school = Distance covered by a van + Distance covered by walking

Distance covered by walking = Distance of Hercules’s home from his school – Distance covered by a van

4. An amount of $13250 is divided among three friends Jason, Orion and Xavier. If Jason gets one-fifth of it and Orion gets one-fourth of it, how much does Xavier get?

a) $7177.5
b) $7187.5
c) $7277.5
d) $7287.5

Answer: d) $7287.5

Explanation: Total amount = $13250

Amount Jason gets = $\frac{\frac{1}{}}{\frac{5}{}}$ × $13250 = $2650

Amount Orion gets = $\frac{\frac{1}{}}{\frac{4}{}}$ × $13250 = $3312.5

Hence, Xavier gets the remaining money.

Amount Xavier gets = $13250 − ($2650 + $3312.5)
                                    = $13250 − $5962.5 = $7287.5
