Hello Starry, let us revise fraction.

This square is divided into 2 equal parts.

Out of which one is coloured.

So, we say that haft a square is coloured.

So the coloured part shows the fraction 1upon 2 that is haft.

This figure is divided into 4 equal parts.

Out of which one part is coloured.

So the coloured part shows the fraction 1 upon 4 or 1 fourth or a quarter.

Now, look at this circle. It has been divided into 4 equal parts.

Out of which 3 parts are coloured.

So the fraction shows by the coloured part is 3 upon 4 or 3 fourths or 3 quarter.

But Starry, are you aware of other fractions.

Alright. Let us see some more fractions.

Look at this cake. Let us divide it into 3 equal parts.

Now, we put icing on one of the parts.

So we have put icing on one part out of 3 parts.

This part shows the fraction 1 upon 3 or 1 third.

Now look at the part without the icing. There are 2 parts without the icing.

So, they show the fraction 2 upon 3 or 2 thirds.

Now look at this figure. It has been divided in to five equal parts.

Let us coloured any 2 parts.

The coloured part shows the fraction 2 out of 5 or 2 fifths.

The uncoloured part shows the fraction 3 upon 5 or 3 fifths.

Look at this strip of paper the number of equal parts it is divided into are 7.

Number of part coloured is 4 .

So the fraction showed by coloured paper is 4 upon 7.

The fraction showed by uncoloured parer is 3 out of 7.

Hey Starry, look at these fractions.

The meaning of the first fraction is out of 11 equal parts 7 are selected.

So the numerator is 7 and the denominator is11.

We read the fraction as 7 upon 11.

Let us look at the second fraction.

It means out of 9 equal parts 2 are selected.

Here 2 is the numerator and 9 is the denominator.

We read as fraction as 2 upon 9.

See what the third fraction means.

It means out of 13 equals parts 5 are selected.

So the numerator is 5 and the denominator is 13.

We read the fraction as 5 upon 13.

Let us now revise what we have learnt. Fill in the blanks.

On the first fraction the numerator 5 and the denominator is 8.

The fraction is read as 5 upon 8.

On the second fraction. The numberator is 2 and the denominator is 11.

So we write the fraction as 2 upon 11. We also read the fraction as 2 upon 11.

It means out of 11 equal parts 2 are selected.

This fraction is read as 3 upon 7.

So we write the numerator as 3 and the denominator as 7.

We write the fraction as 3 upon 7.

It means out of 7 equal parts 3 are selected.

The next fraction means out of 6 equal part 1 is selected.

So the numerator is 1 and the denominator is 6. This fraction is read that 1 upon 6.

So now you have learn some more fractions.

I’m sure you must enjoy this. Bye.
