i + Fraction and Decimal Fractions Fraction The number of the form é where a and b are natural numbers are known as fraction. 123 234 Here, a is called numerator and bis called denominator. A fraction may also be defined as the quotient, obtained on dividing the numerator by denominator. Some figures are given below to understand the fraction in better way. Types of Fraction Proper Fraction Ina fraction when numerator is less than the denominator, it is called as proper fraction, e.g. 4/7 is a proper fraction. Improper Fraction Ina fraction when numerator is greater than the denominator, itis called as improper fraction , e.g 7/4 is an improper fraction. Mixed Fraction {A fraction with a whole number part and a 2 fractional parti called as mixed fraction, eg, 45 isa mixed fraction. 8 Every mixed fraction can be expressed as improper fraction and vice-versa, gd 3x7e4 25 . 7 7 7 Decimal Fraction This type of fractions, is a fraction whose denominator is 10 or a power of 10. 79 3 g 22,3) 10’ 100’1000Example1 Express 2.25 in fraction. 5 1 1 1 @; 2 © ws; 25 1 Sol.

Comparing Like Fractions Like fraction are easy to compare, since they have the same denominators. Ina series of two or more fractions, if denominators of all the fractions are same, then (i) that fraction will be smallest whose Numerator will be smallest. (ii) that fraction will be highest whose Numerator will be greatest. eg. Arrange, 7, 3 in descending order 1010" 10 Since, denominator of all are same, then the fraction having greater numerator must be greater as 9 >7 > 3. And the fraction with lesser numerator (smaller numerator) must be smaller, so the order of the fraction is, given below 2. Comparing Unlike Fract Two cases arise while comparing unlike fractions. Case I Fractions with the Same Numerator 5 2,2, > im ascending order. 12°33'17' In this case the fraction which has a bigger denominator is smaller. Hence, in the above eg. Arrange fractions = is the smallest. B Next ©, then > and > is the largest. ree Therefore, 2< 2.<3<3 217 <2 <1 Case II Fractions with Different Numerators Convert these unlike fractions into like fractions by making the denominator same. eg. Arrange >, $ and 2 in ascending order. ‘The easiest way to do it is to find the LCM of all the denominators. LCM of 3, 5 and 6 is 30. Now, multiply both the numerator and the denominator of all the fractions by suitable numbers to get the denominator as 30. 2_2x10_20 4 _ 4x6 _24 3x10 30°5 5x6 30 2. 5 _5x5_25 6° 6x5 30 Thus, 20.24 30 therefore, 2<4<3 6 sone) Bangi Example 6 Arrange the fractions =, and > in ascending order 1.5.1 1.5.1 ayo <2 et bed ct M5355 3 2000 +0.200 + 0020 + 0000 2000 200, 20, 2 7000 |, 700 20 2 1000 ” 1000 * 1000 * 1000 2222 (000 =? 2.222@ Practice Exercise 1 change 7 into decimal fraction 9.
