Tamilnadu Samacheer Kalvi 4th Maths Solutions Term 2 Chapter 6 Fraction Ex 6.2

Question 1. Write the fractional part for the pictures that is circled.
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
Answer:
(i) \( \frac{4}{7} \)
(ii) \( \frac{5}{8} \)
(iii) \( \frac{3}{9} \) (This can be simplified to \( \frac{1}{3} \)). The answer represents the fraction of items implied to be circled from the total.
In simple words: We find the fraction by counting the circled items and dividing by the total items shown in each picture.

🎯 Exam Tip: When dealing with visual fractions, accurately count both the specific items being highlighted and the total number of items present.

Question 2. Match the following:
Answer:
The matching pairs, based on the fraction of uncrossed items, are:
1. Group of 7 ice creams (3 uncrossed) matches with \( \frac{3}{7} \).
2. Group of 5 tennis balls (2 uncrossed) matches with \( \frac{2}{5} \).
3. Group of 9 cups (4 uncrossed) matches with \( \frac{4}{9} \). Each fraction shows the number of items that are not crossed out, divided by the total number of items.
In simple words: We look at each picture and count how many things are not crossed out. Then, we find the fraction that shows this number out of the total. For example, if 3 out of 7 ice creams are not crossed, it matches with 3/7.

🎯 Exam Tip: Pay close attention to whether the question asks for the fraction of items *marked*, *crossed out*, or *remaining* (uncrossed) to ensure correct matching.

Question 3. Mark the given pictures with the fractions given below.
Answer:
To mark the pictures according to the given fractions, we need to shade or cross out a certain number of items from the total:
1. For \( \frac{3}{8} \), mark 3 out of 8 pencils.
2. For \( \frac{2}{7} \), mark 2 out of 7 oranges.
3. For \( \frac{5}{9} \), mark 5 out of 9 apples. This visually represents the part of the whole that the fraction stands for.
In simple words: For each fraction, you need to mark that many items from the total group. For example, for 3/8, you would mark 3 pencils out of the 8 total pencils.

🎯 Exam Tip: Always check the denominator for the total number of items and the numerator for how many items to mark to represent the fraction correctly.
