We usually read the fraction 3/4 as ‘three quarters’ or ‘three upon four’,
but reading it as ‘3 times 1/4’ helps us to understand the size of the
fraction because it clearly shows what the fractional unit is (1/4 ) and how many such fractional units (3) there are.

In the fraction 5/6 , 5 is the numerator and 6 is the denominator.


MARKING FRACTION LENGTHS ON THE NUMBER LINE

What is the length of the blue line? Write the fraction that gives the length of the blue line in the box.

Now, can you find the lengths of the various blue lines shown below? Fill in the boxes as well.

3. Now, a unit is divided into 8 equal parts. Write the appropriate fractions in your notebook.


FIGURE IT OUT

1. On a number line, draw lines of lengths 1/10 , 3/10 , and 4/5 .

2. Write five more fractions of your choice and mark them on the number line.

3. How many fractions lie between 0 and 1? Think, discuss with your classmates, and write your answer.

4. What is the length of the blue line and black line shown below? The
distance between 0 and 1 is 1 unit long, and it is divided into two equal parts. The length of each part is 1/2. So the blue line is 1/2 units long. Write the fraction that gives the length of the black line in the box.

5. Write the fraction that gives the lengths of the black lines in the respective boxes.


MIXED FRACTIONS

Fractions greater than one
Write down all the fractions you marked on the number line .

Did you notice something common between the fractions that are greater than 1?

In all the fractions that are less than 1 unit, the numerator is smaller than the denominator, while in the fractions that are more than 1 unit, the numerator is larger than the denominator.

FIGURE IT OUT

1. How many whole units are there in 7/2 ?

2. How many whole units are there in 4/3 and in 7/3 ?


WRITING FRACTIONS GREATER THAN ONE AS MIXED NUMBERS
FIGURE IT OUT

1. Figure out the number of whole units in each of the following fractions:

a. 8/3 b. 11/5 c. 9/4

2. Can all fractions greater than 1 be written as such mixed numbers?

3. Write the following fractions as mixed fractions

a. 9/2 b. 9/5 c. 21/19 d. 47/9

e. 12/11 f. 19/6


A mixed number or mixed fraction contains a whole number (called the whole part) and a fraction that is less than 1 (called the fractional part).

Can we write a mixed number (mixed fraction) as a regular fraction?


FIGURE IT OUT

Write the following mixed numbers as fractions:
