Q.8. Write the natural numbers from 2 to 12. What fraction

of them are prime numbers?
Ans. Natural numbers are : 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.
Out of these, prime numbers are : 2, 3, 5, 7 and 11
Total prime numbers = 5
5
∴ Required fraction =
11
Q.9. Write the natural numbers from 102 to 113. What

Q.8. Ramesh had 20 pencils, Sheelu had 50 pencils and

Jamaal had 80 pencils. After 4 months, Ramesh
used up 10 pencils, Sheelu used up 25 pencils and
Jamaal used up 40 pencils. What fraction did each
use up? Check if each has used up an equal fraction
of her/his pencils?
Ans. Case I
Ramesh had total pencils = 20
Ramesh used up pencils = 10
10 1
So, fraction of used up pencils = =
20 2
Case II
Sheelu had total pencils = 50
Sheelu used up pencils = 25
25 1
So, fraction of used up pencils = =
50 2
Case III
Jamaal had total pencils = 80
Jamaal used up Pencils = 40
So, fraction of used up pencils
40 1
= =
80 2
Hence, from Case I, Case II and Case III
Each had used up an equal fraction of their pencils.
