Samacheer Kalvi Class 4 Maths Solutions Term 2 Chapter 6 Fraction Exercise 6.3

Tamilnadu Samacheer Kalvi 4th Maths Solutions Term 2 Chapter 6 Fraction Ex 6.3

I. Write the Numerator and Denominator for the Following Numbers.

 

Question 1. \( \frac { 3 }{7} \)
Answer:
Numerator = 3
Denominator = 7
In simple words: In a fraction, the top number (numerator) tells you how many parts you have, and the bottom number (denominator) tells you how many total parts there are. Think of a pizza with 7 slices; if you have 3, then 3 is the numerator.

🎯 Exam Tip: Remember, the numerator is always 'up' and the denominator is 'down'. You can remember it as 'D' for 'Down'.

 

Question 2. \( \frac { 4 }{ 6 } \)
Answer:
Numerator = 4
Denominator = 6
In simple words: The number on top of the fraction bar shows the 'parts you have', and the number below it shows the 'total parts'. It's like having 4 candies out of a bag of 6 candies.

🎯 Exam Tip: Clearly identify which number is above the line and which is below. The line separates the numerator from the denominator.

 

Question 3. \( \frac { 5 }{ 10 } \)
Answer:
Numerator = 5
Denominator = 10
In simple words: For any fraction, the upper number is the numerator and the lower number is the denominator. This fraction means 5 parts out of 10 total parts.

🎯 Exam Tip: Practice identifying numerators and denominators in everyday situations, like sharing a cake or counting items in a group.

 

Question 4. \( \frac { 1 }{ 3 } \)
Answer:
Numerator = 1
Denominator = 3
In simple words: The numerator is the count of the pieces you are focusing on, and the denominator is the total number of equally-sized pieces in the whole. This means one part out of three.

🎯 Exam Tip: Fractions represent a part of a whole. Visualizing this can help you understand numerators and denominators better.

II. Shade the Parts According to the Number and Write the Numerator and Denominator.

 

Question 1. \( \frac { 2 }{ 8 } \)
Answer:

Numerator = 2
Denominator = 8
In simple words: The picture shows a shape divided into 8 equal pieces. We need to color 2 of these pieces. The shaded parts show the numerator, and all the parts together show the denominator.

🎯 Exam Tip: Always make sure to shade exactly the number of parts indicated by the numerator and verify the total parts match the denominator.

 

Question 2. \( \frac { 3 }{ 4 } \)
Answer:

Numerator = 3
Denominator = 4
In simple words: We have a square divided into 4 equal sections. The task is to shade 3 of these sections to represent the fraction 3/4. The three shaded parts are the numerator, and the four total parts are the denominator.

🎯 Exam Tip: When shading, always ensure the shaded areas are clearly distinguishable from the unshaded areas to show the fraction accurately.

 

Question 3. \( \frac { 5 }{ 10 } \)
Answer:

Numerator = 5
Denominator = 10
In simple words: The rectangle is split into 10 equal parts. We must color 5 of these parts. This visually shows that half of the rectangle is shaded.

🎯 Exam Tip: When a fraction can be simplified (like 5/10 to 1/2), the shaded portion will visually represent the simplified fraction as well.

 

Question 4. \( \frac { 1 }{ 4 } \)
Answer:

Numerator = 1
Denominator = 4
In simple words: Here, a triangle is divided into four smaller, equal triangles. We need to color only one of these smaller triangles. This shows one-fourth of the total triangle.

🎯 Exam Tip: Make sure the parts are visually equal when drawing or shading fractions. Unequal parts do not represent fractions correctly.

 

Question 5. \( \frac { 3 }{ 8 } \)
Answer:

Numerator = 3
Denominator = 8
In simple words: A circle is split into 8 equal parts, like a pizza cut into 8 slices. We need to shade 3 of these slices. This visually represents the fraction three-eighths.

🎯 Exam Tip: Always count the total number of parts (denominator) first, then count the number of shaded parts (numerator) to ensure accuracy.
