Fractions with same denominators are called like fractions.​

Answer 1

Answer 8

Ramesh: Total pencil=20 used pencil=10 fraction used=10/20=1/2

Sheelu: Total pencil=50 used pencil=25 fraction used=25/50=1/2

Jamaal: Total pencil=80 used pencil=40 fraction used=40/80=1/2

Simplest form of 10/20,25/50 and 40/80 is 1/2 which means that everybody used up equal fraction of his/her pencils.
