Express the following as mixed fractions :
(a) $\frac{17}{4}$
(b) $\frac{11}{3}$
(c) $\frac{27}{5}$
(d) $\frac{7}{3}$
To express the given fractions as mixed fractions, we divide the numerator by the denominator to find out how many whole units there are, and then use the remainder as the new numerator of the fraction part. Here are the calculations for each:
(a) $\frac{17}{4}$:
Whole units: $17 \div 4 = 4$, with a remainder of $1$.
Mixed fraction: $4\frac{1}{4}$.
(b) $\frac{11}{3}$:
Whole units: $11 \div 3 = 3$, with a remainder of $2$.
Mixed fraction: $3 \frac{2}{3}$.
(c) $\frac{27}{5}$:
Whole units: $27 \div 5 = 5$, with a remainder of $2$.
Mixed fraction: $5 \frac{2}{5}$.
(d) $\frac{7}{3}$:
Whole units: $7 \div 3 = 2$, with a remainder of $1$.
Mixed fraction: $2 \frac{1}{3}$.
Therefore, the mixed fractions are:
(a) $4\frac{1}{4}$
(b) $3 \frac{2}{3}$
(c) $5 \frac{2}{5}$
(d) $2 \frac{1}{3}$
Express the following mixed fractions as improper fractions:
(a) $2 \frac{3}{4}$
(b) $7 \frac{1}{9}$
(c) $5 \frac{3}{7}$

Write shaded portion as fraction. Arrange them in ascending and descending order using correct sign ‘<’, ‘=’, ‘>’ between the fractions:
For both the circle and square grids, we will first list the shaded portions as fractions and then arrange them in both ascending and descending order. Here's how to approach it:
Circle Grids:
First circle: $3/8$
Second circle: $6/8 = 3/4$
Third circle: $4/8 = 1/2$
Fourth circle: $1/7$
Square Grids:
First square grid: $8/9$
Second square grid: $4/9$
Third square grid: $3/9 = 1/3$
Fourth square grid: $6/9 = 2/3$
Now, we'll arrange them in ascending and descending order.
Circle Grids - Ascending Order:
$1/7 < 1/2 < 3/8 < 3/4$
Circle Grids - Descending Order:
$3/4 > 3/8 > 1/2 > 1/7$
Square Grids - Ascending Order:
$1/3 < 4/9 < 2/3 < 8/9$
Square Grids - Descending Order:
$8/9 > 2/3 > 4/9 > 1/3$
These sequences were arranged by comparing the value of each fraction. Fractions with a smaller numerator relative to their denominator are typically smaller. However, to compare fractions accurately, especially when they have different denominators, either find a common denominator or convert them to decimal form. In this scenario, some simplifications were made for fractions with common denominators to facilitate direct comparison.
Compare the fractions and put an appropriate sign.
(a) $\frac{3}{6} \square \frac{5}{6}$
(b) $\frac{1}{7} \square \frac{1}{4}$
(c) $\frac{4}{5} \square \frac{5}{5}$
(d) $\frac{3}{5} \square \frac{3}{7}$
Make five more such pairs and put appropriate signs.

Add the following fractions: $$ 5 \frac{1}{4} + 2 \frac{1}{2} = ? $$
$7 \frac{3}{4}$
$6 \frac{3}{4}$
$7 \frac{1}{4}$
$7 \frac{3}{2}$
The correct answer is Option A: $7 \frac{3}{4}$.
To add the mixed fractions: $$ 5 \frac{1}{4} + 2 \frac{1}{2} $$
We separate and add the whole numbers and fractions: $$ (5 + 2) + \left(\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{2}\right) $$
First, converting $\frac{1}{2}$ to have the same denominator as $\frac{1}{4}$: $$ \begin{array}{l} = 7 + \left(\frac{1 \times 2}{4 \times 2} + \frac{1 \times 4}{2 \times 4}\right) \ = 7 + \left(\frac{2}{8} + \frac{4}{8}\right) \ = 7 + \left(\frac{6}{8}\right) \ = 7 + \left(\frac{3}{4}\right) \text{ (reducing }\frac{6}{8} \text{ to its lowest terms)} \end{array} $$
Thus, the sum of the mixed fractions is: $$ 7 \frac{3}{4} $$
Note: It is important to reduce the fractional part to its simplest form when dealing with mixed fractions.
Rewrite the following rational number in the simplest form:
$$ \frac{-8}{6} $$
