## Tamilnadu Samacheer Kalvi 5th Maths Solutions Term 3 Chapter 6 Fractions 6.3

Question 1.
Convert the following into like fractions
(i) $$\frac{1}{4}, \frac{3}{8}$$
As 8 is twice 4, make 8 the common denominator.
$$\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1 \times 2}{4 \times 2}=\frac{2}{8}$$
Thus $$\frac{2}{8}$$ and $$\frac{3}{8}$$ are the required like fractions.

(ii) $$\frac{2}{5}, \frac{1}{7}$$
The number 35 is a multiple of both 7 and 5
$$\frac{2}{5}=\frac{2 \times 7}{5 \times 7}=\frac{14}{35}$$
$$\frac{1}{7}=\frac{1 \times 5}{7 \times 5}=\frac{5}{35}$$
Therefore $$\frac{14}{35}$$ and $$\frac{5}{35}$$ are the required like fraction

(iii) $$\frac{2}{5}, \frac{3}{10}$$
As 10 is twice 5, make 10 the common denominator
$$\frac{2}{5}=\frac{2 \times 2}{5 \times 2}=\frac{4}{10}$$
Thus $$\frac{4}{10}$$ and $$\frac{3}{10}$$ are the required like fractions.

(iv) $$\frac{2}{7}, \frac{1}{6}$$
The number 42 is a multiple of both 7 and 6 so make 42 the common denominator.
$$\frac{2}{7}=\frac{2 \times 6}{7 \times 6}=\frac{12}{42}$$
$$\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1 \times 7}{6 \times 7}=\frac{7}{42}$$
Therefore $$\frac{12}{42}$$ and $$\frac{7}{42}$$ are the required like fractions.

(v) $$\frac{1}{3}, \frac{3}{4}$$
The number 12 is a multiple of both 3 and 4 so make 12 the common denominator
$$\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1 \times 4}{3 \times 4}=\frac{4}{12}$$
$$\frac{3}{4}=\frac{3 \times 3}{4 \times 3}=\frac{9}{12}$$
Therefore $$\frac{4}{12}$$ and $$\frac{9}{12}$$ are the required like fractions.

(vi) $$\frac{5}{6}, \frac{4}{5}$$
The number 30 is a multiple of both 6 and 5, so make 30 the common denominator.
$$\frac{5}{6}=\frac{5 \times 5}{6 \times 5}=\frac{25}{30}$$
$$\frac{4}{5}=\frac{4 \times 6}{5 \times 6}=\frac{24}{30}$$
Therefore $$\frac{25}{30}$$ and $$\frac{24}{30}$$ are the required like fractions.

(vii) $$\frac{1}{8}, \frac{3}{7}$$
$$\frac{1}{8}=\frac{1 \times 7}{8 \times 7}=\frac{7}{56}$$
$$\frac{3}{7}=\frac{3 \times 8}{7 \times 8}=\frac{24}{56}$$
Therefore $$\frac{7}{56}$$ and $$\frac{24}{56}$$ are the required like fractions.
(viii) $$\frac{1}{6}, \frac{4}{9}$$
$$\frac{1}{5}=\frac{1 \times 3}{6 \times 3}=\frac{3}{18}$$
$$\frac{4}{9}=\frac{4 \times 2}{9 \times 2}=\frac{8}{18}$$
There fore $$\frac{3}{18}$$ and $$\frac{8}{18}$$ are the required like fractions.
