Value Based Questions
Question 1.
Seema had one sandwich for her lunch and her two other friends in the class forgot to bring their lunch. Seema decided to share equally her sandwich with her friends. How much part of the sandwich each girl will get? What have you learnt by this behaviour of Seema?

Question 2.
A farmer had a large field of dimensions 1396.5 m by 272.72 m. Find the area of the field. He left \(\frac { 1 }{ 6 }\) of this area to make a playground for the children of the locality. Find the area of the playground. Which value of the farmer is reflected in this act?
Solution:
Length of a field = 1396.5 m
and Breadth = 272.72 m
Area of the field = Length × Breadth
= 1396.5 × 272.72 sq m
= 380853.48 sq m
Area left for playground = \(\frac { 1 }{ 6 }\) of 380853.48
= 63475.58 sq m

Question 1.
I read \(\frac { 4 }{ 9 }\) of a book on one day and \(\frac { 3 }{ 5 }\) of the remaining next day. If 100 pages of the book were still left unread, how many pages did the book contain?

Portion of the book, read on one day = \(\frac { 4 }{ 9 }\) part
Question 2.
A drum of petrol is \(\frac { 3 }{ 4 }\) full. When 30 litres of oil are drawn from it, it is \(\frac { 7 }{ 12 }\) full. Find the capacity of the drum.
Solution:
Petrol in a drum = \(\frac { 3 }{ 4 }\) part
After drawning 30 litres of petrol, the remaining petrol = \(\frac { 7 }{ 12 }\) part
\(\frac { 3 }{ 4 }\) – \(\frac { 7 }{ 12 }\) = 30 litres
