Half-half
If the cats ask you to divide the chapati equally, how will you divide it?
Ans. Take a chapati and fold it in such a way that the edges of both the parts touch each other. Then press the chapati on its fold and cut it out in two equal parts.
Half of half
If two more cats come for food, how will you divide one chapati equally for four cats?
Ans. Take a chapati and fold it in such a way that the edges of both the parts touch each other. Then press the chapati on its fold and cut it out in two equal parts. After that, take each part one by one and fold it in such a way that the circular edges touch each other at every point, press the fold and divide it. Similarly, the other half should also be divided in the same way.

Cutting the Cake
Ameena’s father bought a cake. She divided the cake into 4 equal parts herself, her brother Babloo, her father and her mother.
Colour each share with different colours.
How much does each get?
Ans. Each gets one-fourth (1/4) of the cake.
Mother gave her share of the cake to Ameena. Now colour the total part that Ameena will get.
Ans. Ameena will get half (1/2) of the cake.
Out of 4 parts Ameena will get 2 parts, which is equal to half of the cake.
So, she can write it as 2/4 or ½
Before Ameena’s mother gave her share to Ameena, she had only ½ of ‘half of the cake’, which was ¼ of the total cake.
Colour the share Babloo got
How much of the cake do Ameena and Babloo together get? Colour their total share.
Ans. Ameena and Babloo together get 3 parts out of 4. So they get ¾ part of the cake.

Using a Price List
(A) How much does ½ kg of tomatoes cost?
Sol. Cost of 1 kg of tomatoes = 8
Cost of ½ kg of tomatoes = ½ x 8 = ₹ 4 Ans.
(B) Which costs more – ½ kg of onions or ¼ kg of carrots?
Sol. In the First Case.
Cost of 1 kg of onions = 10
Cost of ½ kg of onions = ₹10 x ½ = ₹ 5
In the Second Case.
Cost of 1 kg of carrots = 16
Cost of ¼ kg of carrots =₹16 x ¼ = ₹ 4
So, Onions cost more than carrots.
(C) Aruna is going for shopping. She has only 20 with her. Can she buy all the things on her shopping list?
Sol. Cost of 1 kg of potatoes = ₹ 12
Cost of ½ kg of potato = ₹ 12 × ½ = ₹ 6
Cost of 1 kg of pumpkin = ₹ 4
Cost of 2 kg of pumpkin = ₹ 4 × 2 = ₹ 8
Cost of 1 kg of carrots = 16
Cost of ¼ kg of carrots = 16 x ¼ = ₹ 4
Total cost of ½ kg potatoes + 2 kg pumpkin and ¼ kg of carrots = ₹ (6+8+4) = ₹ 18
Yes, she can buy all the things on her shopping list.

Then ½ metre = 100/2 cm = 50 cm. Ans
Page No. 126 Solutions
So
½ metre = ……… cm
¼ metre = ……… cm
¾ metre = ……… cm
Ans. ½ metre = 50 cm
¼ metre = 25 cm (¼ x 100 = 25)
¾ metre = 75 cm (¾ x 100 = 75)
Sharing Milk
This bottle is full of milk and it holds one litre. The milk is put into 4 other bottles so that each bottle has ¼ litre of milk.
Shade the bottles to show the level of milk in each.
The level of milk is shown as below: –
How many millilitres of milk does each bottle have? _________
Ans. Each bottle has ¼ litre of milk.
So, 1000 ml ÷ 4 = 250 millilitre milk.
Aahan poured 1 litre of milk into two bottles so that the first bottle holds ¾ litre and the other holds ¼ litre.
Shade the level of milk in each bottle.
How many millilitres of milk does each bottle hold?
Ans. The first bottle holds ¾ litre of milk
So, 1000 × ¾ ml = 750 ml
The second bottle holds ¼ litre of milk
So, 1000 × ¼ ml = 250 ml

Why Is It Wrong?
Kamraan shaded some parts as shown. But his friend Maria says that it is wrong. Explain why it is wrong.
Ans. In this rectangle, the four divisions are not of equal size. So, the shaded part is not equal to ¼ of the rectangle. It is ⅖ of the rectangle.
In the case of the triangle, the shaded part is not equal to ½ of the triangle.
Practice Time
There are 60 mangoes. ½ of them are ripe. How many mangoes are ripe?
Sol. The number of ripe mangoes ½ of 60.
= 60 × ½ = 30 Ans.
There are 32 children. ½ of them are girls. How many children are boys?
Sol. Total number of children = 32
Number of girls = ½ of 32 = ½ x 32 = 16
So, the number of boys = Total number of children – number of girls
= 32 – 16 =16 Ans.
There are 20 stars. A quarter of them are red. How many stars are red?
Sol. Total number of stars = 20
So, the number of red stars = ¼ of 20 = ¼ × 20 = 5 Ans.
How many are not red?
Sol. Total number of stars number of Red stars = Number of non-red stars = 20 – 5 = 15 Ans.
Aslam wants a pencil. It costs ₹ 2. He gives a one-rupee coin, one half-rupee coin and one quarter-rupee coin. Is it enough?
Sol. Cost of a pencil = 2
The money he gives = one rupee + one-half rupee + one quarter rupee = (1.00 +0.50 +0.25 = 1.75)
Total money he had given = 1.75
But the cost of a pencil is 2.00 and he gives only 1.75. So, it is not enough.

(ii) Each part is ⅕ of the whole
(iii) ⅗ part is shaded.
(h) (i) 12 parts.
(ii) Each part is 1/12 of the whole
(iii) The 6/12 parts are shaded.
- Write the fraction for the shaded part of each shape. Also, write the fraction for the white part of each shape.
Ans. Fraction for the shaded portion:
(a) ½
(b) ¾
(c) ½
(d) 3/6 or ½
(e) ½
(f) 4/8 or ½
Fraction for the white portion:
(a) ½
(b) ¼
(c) ½
(d) 3/6 or ½
(e) ½
(f) 4/8 or ½
- Find if the two fractions are equal [or equivalent]. Write equal or not equal.
Sol. (a) ½ ≠ ⅔ So, A ≠ B
(b) 3/6 = ½ So, A = B
(c) 2/6 = ⅓ So, A = B
(d) 2/8 = ¼ So, A = B.
(e) ⅜ = ½ So, A ≠ B
(f) 2/10 = ⅕ So, A = B
