Exercise 7.4

1. Write the numerator and denominator for the following fractions.

(a) 1 Numerator = (b) 3 Numerator =
5 Denominator = 8 Denominator =

(c) 2 Numerator = (d) 3 Numerator =
7 Denominator = 10 Denominator =

2. Write the fractions in which:

(a) Numerator = 8 (b) Numerator = 3
Denominator = 7 Denominator = 4

(c) Numerator = 1 (d) Numerator = 7

Denominator = 6 Denominator = 9

Like and Unlike Fractions

Like Fractions

Two or more fractions with the same denominator are called like fractions.

1 2 3
For example, , , , etc. are like fractions.
4 4 4
Unlike Fractions

Two or more fractions with different denominators are called unlike fractions.

1 2 3 5
For example, , , , , etc. are unlike fractions.
6 8 4 12

Comparison of Like Fractions

When denominators of the given fractions 3 2 1
are the same, fraction with the greatest
numerator is the greatest. 4 4 4

Order of numerators in the above fractions is 3 > 2 > 1.
3 2 1
So, order of fractions is > > .
4 4 4
