CBSE Class 5 Mathematics Halves And Quarters Worksheet

Competency : Formation of Numbers

Question 1. Fill in the numerals in the boxes:
e.g In \(\frac{4}{6}\), 4 is the numerator and 6 is the denominator
a) In \(\frac{3}{8}\), [ ] is the numerator and [ ] is the denominator
b) In \(\frac{6}{9}\), [ ] is the numerator and [ ] is the denominator
c) In \(\frac{7}{8}\), [ ] is the numerator and [ ] is the denominator
d) In \(\frac{8}{9}\), [ ] is the numerator and [ ] is the denominator
e) In \(\frac{3}{5}\), [ ] is the numerator and [ ] is the denominator
f) In \(\frac{2}{6}\), [ ] is the numerator and [ ] is the denominator
Answer:
a) In \(\frac{3}{8}\), 3 is the numerator and 8 is the denominator
b) In \(\frac{6}{9}\), 6 is the numerator and 9 is the denominator
c) In \(\frac{7}{8}\), 7 is the numerator and 8 is the denominator
d) In \(\frac{8}{9}\), 8 is the numerator and 9 is the denominator
e) In \(\frac{3}{5}\), 3 is the numerator and 5 is the denominator
f) In \(\frac{2}{6}\), 2 is the numerator and 6 is the denominator
In simple words: The top number of a fraction is the numerator, and the bottom number is the denominator.

Exam Tip: Always remember that the numerator (N) comes on top and the denominator (D) comes at the bottom in a fraction \(\frac{N}{D}\).

Question 2. Write the fractional numbers, whose Numerator and Denominators are:
e.g N = 4; D = 6 = \(\frac{4}{6}\)
N = 7; D = 5 = [ ]
1. N = 6, D = 8 = [ ]
N = 8; D = 9 = [ ]
Answer:
For N = 7; D = 5, the fraction is \(\frac{7}{5}\)
For N = 6, D = 8, the fraction is \(\frac{6}{8}\)
For N = 8; D = 9, the fraction is \(\frac{8}{9}\)
In simple words: Place the given numerator above the fraction bar and the denominator below it.

Exam Tip: Write the numerator above the horizontal line and the denominator below the line to form the correct fraction.
