Question 1 of 25beginner💡 UnderstandShort Answer2 marks

Which part of the paper you would have chosen—one half or two quarters? Why?

Correct Answer

I would choose either one half or two quarters because both are equal in value.

One half (1/2) of the paper is the same amount as two quarters.

1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4 = 1/2

Both give exactly the same portion of the paper.

Explanation

The chapter introduces the concept that one half and two quarters represent the same amount. When a whole is divided into 2 equal parts, each part is 1/2. When divided into 4 equal parts, each part is 1/4, and two such parts make 2/4 which equals 1/2. The story of Ikra and Samina demonstrates this equivalence.

Solution Steps

  1. One half (1/2) equals two quarters in value.

  2. 1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4 = 1/2

  3. Both portions are exactly the same.
