Study Notes

Multiplication of Fractions

When multiplying fractions, multiply the numerators and denominators separately.
Examples:
- For ( \frac{3}{5} \times \frac{1}{2} ), multiply to get ( \frac{3 \times 1}{5 \times 2} = \frac{3}{10} ).
- Reduce to lowest terms if applicable.

Mixed Fractions

Convert improper fractions to mixed fractions by dividing the numerator by the denominator.
Example: ( \frac{11}{4} = 2\frac{3}{4} ) since ( 11 \div 4 = 2) remainder (3).

Division of Fractions

To divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor.
Example: ( \frac{1}{6} \div \frac{3}{5} = \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{5}{3} = \frac{5}{18} ).

Operations with Whole Numbers and Fractions

Convert mixed fractions into improper fractions before division.
Example: ( 4 \div 2\frac{1}{2} = 4 \div \frac{5}{2} = 4 \times \frac{2}{5} = \frac{8}{5} ).

Applying Fractions

Common operations include finding fractions of whole numbers.
Example: Finding (\frac{1}{2}) of (24) equals (12).

Decimal Multiplication

When multiplying decimal numbers, ignore decimal points initially and multiply as whole numbers, then adjust the decimal in the result according to the total decimal places.
Example: ( 0.2 \times 0.3 = 0.06 ) derived from ( 2 \times 3 = 6) and moving the decimal two places left.

Area and Perimeter Calculations

Perimeter of an equilateral triangle: All sides equal; perimeter = (3) times side length.
Area of a rectangle: Length multiplied by breadth; for (7.1) cm (length) and (2.5) cm (breadth) area = (17.75) cm².

Division Context

Dividing a fraction by a whole number involves multiplying the fraction by the reciprocal of the whole number.
Example: ( \frac{3}{4} \div 2 = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{8} ).

Practical Applications

Divide fractions and whole numbers to calculate real-world scenarios, such as distance covered or resources consumed.
Example: If Vidya drank (2) out of (5) liters of water, the remaining amount consumed by Pratap can be calculated based on this information.

Understanding Proportions and Reduction

Reduce fractions to their simplest form for easier calculations.
Use shading and visual aids to understand fractions and their proportions, such as shaded parts in circles or triangles.
