Q58Written answer

$\dfrac{{25}}{{19}} + \dfrac{6}{{19}} = \dfrac{{31}}{{38}}$

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Ans: The addition of the fraction is False

Denominator is same for the fractions so by adding the numerator 

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{{25}}{{19}} + \dfrac{6}{{19}} = \dfrac{{25 + 6}}{{19}} = \dfrac{{31}}{{19}}$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{{31}}{{19}} \ne \dfrac{{31}}{{38}}$ 


Q59Written answer

$\dfrac{8}{{18}} - \dfrac{8}{{15}} = \dfrac{8}{3}$

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Ans: The subtract of the fraction is False

Cross multiply the both fraction with each other.

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{8}{{18}} - \dfrac{8}{{15}} = \dfrac{{8 \times 15 - 8 \times 18}}{{18 \times 15}}$

$= \dfrac{{120 - 144}}{{270}} = \dfrac{{ - 24}}{{270}}$

$=  - \dfrac{4}{{45}}$ 

$\Rightarrow  - \dfrac{4}{{45}} \ne \dfrac{8}{3}$


Q60Written answer

$\dfrac{7}{{12}} + \dfrac{{11}}{{12}} = \dfrac{3}{2}$

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Ans: The addition of the fraction is True

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{7}{{12}} + \dfrac{{11}}{{12}} = \dfrac{{7 + 11}}{{12}}$

$= \dfrac{{18 \div 6}}{{12 \div 6}} = \dfrac{3}{2}$
