1. How many quarters in a whole?

A "quarter" means 1/4 of a whole.
To find how many quarters make a whole:
$$
1 \div \frac{1}{4} = 4
$$
✔ Answer: 4

2. Mala took ¼ of an hour to go to her friend’s birthday party and 1/6th hour to come back home. She took ………… hour less to travel back home.

We need to find the difference between the time taken to go and return:
$$
\frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{6}
$$

Find the common denominator: LCM of 4 and 6 is 12.
$$
\frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{12}, \quad \frac{1}{6} = \frac{2}{12}
$$
$$
\frac{3}{12} - \frac{2}{12} = \frac{1}{12}
$$

✔ Answer: 1/12 hour less

3. A cup is filled with hot coffee up to the brim. 2/6th of the coffee got spilled. What amount of coffee is left in the cup?

Total coffee = 1 (whole cup)
Spilled = $ \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3} $

Left = $ 1 - \frac{2}{6} = \frac{6}{6} - \frac{2}{6} = \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3} $

✔ Answer: 2/3 of the coffee is left

4. Aanya has 5 ribbons. If each ribbon measures 1/2 metre. What is the total length of the 5 ribbons in metres?

Each ribbon = $ \frac{1}{2} $ m
Total = $ 5 \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{2} = 2.5 $ metres

✔ Answer: 5/2 or 2.5 metres

5. Write as an addition statement, multiplication statement, and a fraction for the coloured parts.

From the grid:
There are 3 rows × 3 columns = 9 squares total
Coloured squares = 4 (top row all 3, and one in middle row)

Wait — let's count carefully:

- Top row: 3 yellow squares ✔
- Middle row: 1 yellow square ✔
- Bottom row: none

So total coloured = 4 out of 9

But wait — looking at the image: it seems like the top row has 3 shaded, and one in the center (middle row, middle column). So yes, 4 shaded squares.

Now:

- Addition Statement: Add each shaded part:
$$
\frac{1}{9} + \frac{1}{9} + \frac{1}{9} + \frac{1}{9} = \frac{4}{9}
$$

- Multiplication Statement:
$$
4 \times \frac{1}{9} = \frac{4}{9}
$$

- Fraction Statement:
$$
\frac{4}{9}
$$

✔ Answers:
- Addition: $ \frac{1}{9} + \frac{1}{9} + \frac{1}{9} + \frac{1}{9} = \frac{4}{9} $
- Multiplication: $ 4 \times \frac{1}{9} = \frac{4}{9} $
- Fraction: $ \frac{4}{9} $

6. Write the fractions in descending order: $ \frac{4}{6}, \frac{5}{6}, \frac{1}{6} $

All have same denominator → compare numerators:
- $ \frac{5}{6} > \frac{4}{6} > \frac{1}{6} $

So descending order:
$$
\frac{5}{6}, \frac{4}{6}, \frac{1}{6}
$$

✔ Answer: $ \frac{5}{6}, \frac{4}{6}, \frac{1}{6} $

7. Solve the following:

#### a) 3/4 of an hour = ? minutes

1 hour = 60 minutes
So:
$$
\frac{3}{4} \times 60 = \frac{3 \times 60}{4} = \frac{180}{4} = 45 \text{ minutes}
$$

✔ Answer: $ \frac{3}{4} \times 60 = 45 $ minutes

---

#### b) 2/3 of a dozen eggs = ? eggs

1 dozen = 12 eggs
So:
$$
\frac{2}{3} \times 12 = \frac{2 \times 12}{3} = \frac{24}{3} = 8 \text{ eggs}
$$

✔ Answer: $ \frac{2}{3} \times 12 = 8 $ eggs

---

#### c) 2/3 of a day = ? hours

1 day = 24 hours
So:
$$
\frac{2}{3} \times 24 = \frac{2 \times 24}{3} = \frac{48}{3} = 16 \text{ hours}
$$

✔ Answer: $ \frac{2}{3} \times 24 = 16 $ hours

---

✔ Final Answers Summary:

1. 4, $ \frac{1}{4} $
2. $ \frac{1}{12} $ hour
3. $ \frac{2}{3} $
4. $ \frac{5}{2} $ or 2.5 metres
5.
- Addition: $ \frac{1}{9} + \frac{1}{9} + \frac{1}{9} + \frac{1}{9} = \frac{4}{9} $
