Question 1.
State whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F):
(i) The fraction \(\frac{2}{3}\) lies between 2 and 3.
(ii) To find an equivalent fraction to a given fraction, we may add or subtract the same (non-zero) number to its numerator and denominator.
(iii) To add or subtract like fractions, we add or subtract the numerators while keeping the denominator same.
Solution:
(i) False
As \(\frac{2}{3}\) lies between 0 and 1
(ii) False
We should multiply and divide by appropriate numerator keep the denominator same. And that appropriate number is obtained by the LCM of all the denominators.
(ii) True

Question 2.
How many natural numbers are there between 102 and 112? What fraction of them are prime numbers?
Solution:
The natural numbers from 102 to 112 are: 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111 Total number of natural numbers = 9 Out of these prime numbers are:
103, 107, 109 = 3
∴ Total number of these prime numbers = 3
Required fraction = \(\frac{3}{9}=\frac{1}{3}\)
