Question

Which of the following pairs of numbers contains like fractions? A. 6⁄7 and 1 5⁄7 B. 5⁄6 and 10⁄12 C. 3⁄2 and 2⁄3 D. 3 1⁄2 and 4 4⁄4

Answer 1

We are given four pairs →

$\frac{6}{7} \ and \ \frac{5}{7}$

$\frac{5}{6} \ and \ \frac{10}{12}$

$\frac{3}{2} \ and \ \frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{1}{2} \ and \ \frac{4}{4}$

Now, we have to find the like fractions.

Like fractions are the fractions which have a same denominator. Here, we can observe that only option A has same denominator. Hence, answer is $\sf Option \ A$

NOTE :- While taking out like fractions among a group, don't try to simplify. Hence, we hadn't taken 10/12 and 5/6 as like fraction.

Answer 2

The pair of like fractions in the above options is -

Option A :

$\frac{6}{7} \: and \: \frac{5}{7}$

So the required answer is option A .

What are like fractions ?

Those pair of fractions which have same denominators are known as like fractions.

Example -

$\frac{1}{5} , \frac{2}{5} , \frac{3}{5} , \frac{4}{5}$

What are unlike fractions?

Those pair of fractions which do not have same denominators are known as unlike fractions.

Example -

½, ⅓,¼,⅛
