🧠 HOTS Questions

Click each question to reveal the answer.

1. Why must parts be equal in a fraction?

Because a fraction represents equal parts of a whole. Unequal parts do not show a fair fraction.

2. Why is 2/4 equal to 1/2?

Both represent the same portion of a whole, because 2/4 can be simplified by dividing numerator and denominator by 2.

3. Can a numerator be bigger than the denominator?

Yes. Such a fraction is called an improper fraction, like 7/4.

4. Why are fractions useful in daily life?

Fractions help us share food, measure ingredients, divide money, read time and compare quantities.

5. How can we create equivalent fractions?

Multiply or divide both numerator and denominator by the same non-zero number.
