Grade: 4-a Lesson: S1-L4

Explanation: Hello Students, time to learn examples. Let us take turns and read each example. Explain each step. Pay special attention to steps and pictures and communicate in your own words.

Examples:

Covert \$38/7\$ into a mixed fraction.

Step 1a

The given fraction is \$38/7\$

$1a$

Explanation: The given fraction is \$38/7\$, which is an improper fraction.

Now we have to convert this improper fraction into a mixed fraction.

Step 1b

The first step, divide the numerator by the denominator. Hence, the numerator is 38 and the denominator is 7.

$1b$

Explanation: In this step, we must divide the numerator by the denominator. Here, the dividend is 38 and the divisor is 7.

38 is not divisible by 7, but since, 7 x 5=35.we go for subtracting, 38 - 35 =3.

We get the quotient as 5 and the remainder as 3.

Step 1c

Moving to the next step, the quotient becomes the whole number, and the remainder becomes the new numerator while the denominator remains the same.

$1c$

Explanation: In this step, the denominator is 7, and the quotient is 5 with a remainder of 3.

Step 1d

Now we combine the whole number and fraction parts, we get a mixed fraction represented as \$5 3/7\$.

$1d$

Explanation: Finally, by combining a whole number and a fraction, we get a mixed fraction represented as \$5 3/7\$.
