Question 2 of 25beginner💡 UnderstandShort Answer2 marks

Do you think Ikra shared the paper equally? Why? Try with a paper.

Correct Answer

Yes, Ikra shared the paper equally.

Explanation: One half of the paper is exactly equal to two quarters of the paper.

12=24\frac{1}{2} = \frac{2}{4}

Both Ikra and Samina received the same amount of paper, just divided differently. Samina thought two quarters was more, but it is actually the same as one half.

∴ The paper was shared equally.
