FRACTION AND ITS TYPES Hello students! today lets learn about fraction and its types. What is fraction?      When an object is divided into a number of equal parts then each part is called a faction. A fraction denotes a part of a whole or a collection. A fraction consists of a Numerator and a Denominator.  The numerator tells how many parts out of all are there. The denominator tells how many total parts are there.  FRACTION IN REAL LIFE: Fractions are used in life situation such as, To express time as quarter past 3, half past 4, quarter to 5. To say the distance between two places as half a kilometre / two and half kilometre. If a pizza is divided into two equal parts, then each part is equal to half of the whole pizza If we divide a slice of watermelon into three equal parts then each part is equal 1/3rd of the whole TYPES OF FRACTION: There are three different types of fractions. They are: Proper fraction Improper fraction Mixed fraction       PROPER FRACTION:           If a numer

 Ratio and proportion Hello students! Today lets learn about ratio and proportion Ratio: What do we mean by a ratio?                 In our daily life, many a times we compare two quantities of the same type. In certain situations comparison  by division makes better sense than comparison by finding out the difference. Thus,       “ A ratio is a comparison of two quantities of the  same kind by division” Let us understand with an example. Example :1 Here are 5 kites and 7 balloons Figure.1 Solution :  The ratio of kites to balloons is 5 is to 7 or 5/7 or 5:7 Here 5 is the first term and 7 is the second term. The ratio of balloons to kites is 7 is to 5 or 7/5 or 7:5 EXAMPLE:2 Write the ratio of 13 puppies to 4 dogs in three ways Figure.2 Solution:      The ratio of 13 puppies to 4 dogs can be written as 13 is to 4 13:4 13/4 EXAMPLE : 3 There are 10 cows for every 18 hens in the farm. Find out the answer to the given ratios. Figure.3 Hens to cows Cows to hens Cows to the total number of
