Name: Sanjay Richard Pidakala Grade: 5 E Date: 29 November, 2021

Success Criteria:

- Able to understand the concept of like and unlike fractions.

Like Fractions:
If denominators of the fractions are equal then such fractions are called as like fractions.
4 7
11
, 11
, 111 , 115 and 15 , 25 , 75 etc, are like fractions.

Comparison of like fractions:

In the above example, the share of chocolate given by Akansh is more than the share of
chocolate given by Anil.
6 3
So, 12 ＞ 12 (Since 6 ＞ 3)
4 2
Similarly, 5 ＞ 5 (Since 4 ＞ 2)
Note: When we compare like fractions, compare only their numerators and put the
appropriate sign.
Addition of like fractions: The total share that Varun got is

 9 3
Hence, the total share received by Varun is 12 or 4

Note: To add and subtract like fractions, add and subtract the numbers in their respective
numerators and never add the common denominators.

Subtraction of like fractions:

How much more share of chocolate did Akansh give to Varun than Anil?
= Akansh’s share - Anil’s share
6 3 6−3
= 12 - 12 = 12 = 123 = 14

is the simplest form of 12

 Ordering of like fractions:
Arrange the following fractions in…
Ascending order:
3
11
, 117 , 111 , 114 , 10
11

Here, 1＜ 3 ＜ 4 ＜ 7 ＜10
1 3 4 7 10
Therefore, ascending order is: 11 , 11 , 11 , 11 , 11
Descending order:
Here, 10 ＞ 7 ＞ 4 ＞ 3 ＞ 1
