⭐ Answer Key
Class 3 · Maths · FractionsAnswer Key
Q1. Answer: c) 1/2
When a whole is divided into 2 equal parts, each part is one half, written as 1/2.
Q2. Answer: d) 1/4
The pizza has 4 equal parts. Eating one part means eating 1 out of 4 parts, which is 1/4.
Q3. Answer: a) Thirds
When something is divided into 3 equal parts, the parts are called thirds.
Q4. Answer: d) 3/8
Riya gave away 3 pieces out of 8 total pieces, so the fraction is 3/8.
Q5. Answer: c) 4/4
When the numerator and denominator are equal, the fraction equals one whole. So 4/4 equals 1.
Q6. Answer: numerator, denominator
The top number of a fraction is the numerator and the bottom number is the denominator.
Q7. Answer: one half or 1/2
Dividing a shape into 2 equal parts gives us two halves and each part is called one half.
Q8. Answer: 3
The fraction 2/3 means 2 parts out of 3 equal parts.
Q9. Answer: 5/8
You took 5 slices out of 8 total slices, so the fraction is 5/8.
Q10. Answer: one whole or 1
When the numerator equals the denominator, the fraction represents one complete whole.
Q11. Answer: The circle should be divided into 2 equal parts with one part shaded.
Shaded part = 1/2
Unshaded part = 1/2
Both parts are equal so each is one half of the whole circle.
Q12. Answer: Mohan gave away 2 chocolates out of 6 total chocolates.
Fraction of chocolates given away = 2/6
This means 2 parts out of 6 equal parts were given away.
Q13. Answer: The fraction 3/4 means three parts out of four equal parts.
The whole is divided into 4 equal parts and we are talking about 3 of those parts. The numerator is 3 and the denominator is 4.
Q14. Answer: Coloured part = 3/4
Uncoloured part = 1/4
The rectangle has 4 equal parts, 3 parts are blue so 3/4 is coloured and only 1 part is left so 1/4 is uncoloured. Both fractions together make one whole, that is 3/4 plus 1/4 equals 4/4 which is 1.
Q15. Answer: Two examples of fractions representing equal parts of a whole are 1/2 and 1/4.
1/2 means when a whole is divided into 2 equal parts, we take 1 part.
1/4 means when a whole is divided into 4 equal parts, we take 1 part.
Other correct answers are also acceptable such as 1/3 meaning one part out of three equal parts, or 2/4 meaning two parts out of four equal parts.
