CBSE Class 4 Maths Fractions Worksheet Set 02

Topic: Fractions

Q1. Shade the fraction mentioned in the box
a. Shade 2 out of 5 bees.
b. Shade 7 out of 11 strawberries.
Answer:
a. Shade any 2 of the 5 bee drawings given in the row.
b. Shade any 7 of the 11 strawberry drawings given in the row.
In simple words: Coloring the exact number of objects shown in the numerator (top number) out of the total objects gives the fraction.

Exam Tip: Always count the total number of items first to make sure your denominator matches before shading the numerator count.

Q.2. Colour to compare. Put < or > symbol
a) \(\frac{3}{6}\) \bigcirc \ \frac{5}{6} \)
b) \(\frac{2}{9}\) \bigcirc \ \frac{7}{9} \)
Answer:
a) \(\frac{3}{6} < \frac{5}{6}\)
b) \(\frac{2}{9} < \frac{7}{9}\)
In simple words: When denominators are the same, the fraction with the larger numerator is greater.

Exam Tip: If the denominators are equal, simply compare the top numbers (numerators).

Q. 3. Arrange the following in descending order
a.) \(\frac{17}{19}, \frac{3}{19}, \frac{12}{19}, \frac{8}{19}\)
(b) \(\frac{5}{12}, \frac{1}{12}, \frac{11}{12}, \frac{9}{12}\)
Answer:
a.) Descending order means arranging from greatest to least:
\(\frac{17}{19}, \frac{12}{19}, \frac{8}{19}, \frac{3}{19}\)
(b) Descending order means arranging from greatest to least:
\(\frac{11}{12}, \frac{9}{12}, \frac{5}{12}, \frac{1}{12}\)
In simple words: Descending order means going down from the biggest fraction to the smallest fraction.

Exam Tip: Check the numerators carefully and arrange them from highest to lowest when denominators are the same.

Q.4. Solve:
a) \(\frac{5}{7} + \frac{3}{7} =\)
(b) \(\frac{7}{14} + \frac{8}{14} =\)
c.) \(\frac{6}{10} - \frac{3}{10} =\)
(d) \(\frac{11}{15} - \frac{8}{15} =\)
Answer:
a) \(\frac{5}{7} + \frac{3}{7} = \frac{5 + 3}{7} = \frac{8}{7}\)
(b) \(\frac{7}{14} + \frac{8}{14} = \frac{7 + 8}{14} = \frac{15}{14}\)
c.) \(\frac{6}{10} - \frac{3}{10} = \frac{6 - 3}{10} = \frac{3}{10}\)
(d) \(\frac{11}{15} - \frac{8}{15} = \frac{11 - 8}{15} = \frac{3}{15}\)
In simple words: Add or subtract only the numerators while keeping the common denominator the same.

Exam Tip: Never add or subtract the denominators when combining or separating like fractions!
