What would be Sumedha's share, if Idha and Vinayak both give their share of dhokla to her?
Given: Each person's original share = 1/5 of the dhokla.
Calculation: Sumedha's own share = 1/5 Idha's share given to Sumedha = 1/5 Vinayak's share given to Sumedha = 1/5 Total share = 1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5 = 3/5
Answer: Sumedha's share would be 3/5 of the dhokla.
Explanation
The chapter presents a scenario where the dhokla is divided into 5 equal parts (1/5 each). Sumedha already has her 1/5 share. If she receives Idha's 1/5 and Vinayak's 1/5, her total becomes 1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5 = 3/5. This teaches addition of like fractions.
Solution Steps
Step 1: Each person's original share = 1/5 of the dhokla
Step 2: Sumedha's own share = 1/5
Step 3: Idha's share given to Sumedha = 1/5
Step 4: Vinayak's share given to Sumedha = 1/5
Step 5: Total share = 1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5 = 3/5
