Class 6 Fractions: Computational Thinking Questions and Answers
The Fractions CT chapter treats a fraction as equal sharing: split a whole into equal parts and take some of them. Students compare, add and find fractions of groups by breaking problems into equal parts and spotting equivalent forms.
[ WORKED EXAMPLE ]
Which fraction is equal to 3/4?
Answer: 6/8.
- 3/4 = (3 × 2)/(4 × 2).
- That gives 6/8.
- Multiplying top and bottom by the same number keeps the fraction’s value.
What this chapter is about
Students use fractions for equal sharing, the number line, equivalent fractions, comparing and simple addition.
Sharing rotis or chikkis among children is decomposition: split each whole, then hand out the pieces.
Patterns such as 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 … show how repeated halving gets closer and closer to a whole.

Q1Which fraction is equal to 3/4?
- 6/8
- 3/8
- 4/3
- 9/16
Answer: A. 6/8
Hint: Multiply the top and bottom by the same number.
- 3/4 = (3 × 2)/(4 × 2).
- That gives 6/8.
- Multiplying top and bottom by the same number keeps the fraction’s value.

Q2Which fraction is the largest?
- 2/3
- 3/5
- 5/8
- 7/12
Answer: A. 2/3
Hint: Compare each fraction with 1/2 and see how far above it each one is, or use a common denominator of 120.
- With denominator 120: 2/3 = 80/120, 3/5 = 72/120, 5/8 = 75/120, 7/12 = 70/120.
- 80 is the biggest numerator.
- So 2/3 is the largest.

Q3What is 1/2 + 1/4?
- 2/6
- 3/4
- 1/6
- 2/4
Answer: B. 3/4
Hint: Change 1/2 into quarters first.
- 1/2 = 2/4.
- 2/4 + 1/4 = 3/4.
- Do not add the denominators: 2/6 is a common mistake.

Q4Three rotis are shared equally among four children. How much does each child get?
- 1/4 roti
- 3/4 roti
- 4/3 roti
- 1/3 roti
Answer: B. 3/4 roti
Hint: Cut every roti into 4 equal pieces.
- 3 rotis × 4 pieces = 12 quarter pieces.
- 12 pieces ÷ 4 children = 3 pieces each.
- Each child gets 3 quarters, or 3/4 of a roti.

Q5What is 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8?
- 3/14
- 7/8
- 1
- 3/8
Answer: B. 7/8
Hint: Write every fraction in eighths.
- 1/2 = 4/8 and 1/4 = 2/8.
- 4/8 + 2/8 + 1/8 = 7/8.
- Pattern: each new piece fills half of what is left, so the total gets closer to 1 but never reaches it.

Q6What is 2/5 of 30 students?
- 6
- 10
- 12
- 15
Answer: C. 12
Hint: Find 1/5 first.
- 1/5 of 30 = 30 ÷ 5 = 6.
- 2/5 = 2 × 6.
- 2 × 6 = 12 students.
