PART 1
Question 1
Proper fraction:- It is defined as a fraction which has its numerator less than its denominator and.
It is less than one.
For example:- 3/6 ( Here 3 is smaller value, 6 is larger value).
Improper fraction:- Improper fraction is defined as a fraction having its numerator equal to or
greater than its denominator value (Mane and Miravet, 2016).
For example:- 9/5 ( Here 9 is greater value, 5 is smaller value).
Question 2
The simplest form of 16/40 is:- 2/5.
The simplest form of 24/42 is:- 4/7.
Question 3
a)The equivalent fractions of given fractions 3/4, 5/6, 7/9 with denominator 36 are as following:-
3/4= 27/36
5/6= 30/36
7/9= 28/36
b) It is given that
Sporting event sold total tickets :- 1,20,000
at premium price:- 24,000
at standard price:- 62,000 (Estrada‐Mejia and at.el. 2020).
let's assume 'x' be the tickets sold at discounted price that are remaining ones
1,20,000= 24,000+62,000+x
x= 34,000
percentage of x=(34,000/1,20,000)*100
percentage of x= 28.33%
Hence percentage of tickets that sporting event sold at discounted price is 28.33%.

Question 4
As its given that Arianne paid purchased 2 jackets by paying two £50 notes and got a change
from shopkeeper of £12.50.
Total amount charged for jackets from Arianne:- £100-£12.50
=£87.5
price of each jacket= £87.5/2
=£43.75
The price charged of each jacket is £43.75 (Angermeier and Ansen, 2019).
Question 5
a) 402.50*15.45 = 6218.62
b) As a power of 10 number 0.0521 can be written as:-
=521*10^-5
Question 6
Given that the amount paid by Asif and his 2 flatmates in gym that is 60% of total amount is
£180
a) Suppose that 'x' be the total amount which is without discount so
60= (£180/x)*100
x=(£180/60)*100
x=£300
so the total amount for one month in gym without discount is £300 (Fleisch, Schöer, Roberts.
and Thornton, 2016).
total money saved= £300-£180
=£120
b) average money saved per person:-
= £120/3
=£40
Hence money saved by each person is £40
Question 7
a) 7/9 + 2/3 – 3/4= 25/36
b)The number 0.00005 is the smallest of the given numbers 0.1, 0.02, 0.003, 0.0004, 0.00005 .
