Solution:
(i)
\(\frac{2}{9}, \frac{2}{3}, \frac{8}{21}\)
Converting them into like fractions, we obtain

Question 3.
In a “magic square”, the sum of the numbers in each row, in each column and along the diagonals is the same. Is this a magic square?
MP Board Class 7th Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Fractions and Decimals Ex 2.1 6
(Along the first row \(\frac{4}{11}+\frac{9}{11}+\frac{2}{11}=\frac{15}{11}\)).
Solution:
Sum along the first row

Question 4.
A rectangular sheet of paper is \(12 \frac{1}{2}\) cm long and \(10 \frac{2}{3}\) cm wide. Find its perimeter.
Solution:
Length = \(12 \frac{1}{2}\) cm = \(\frac{25}{2}\) cm and
Breadth \(=10 \frac{2}{3} \mathrm{cm}=\frac{32}{3} \mathrm{cm}\)
Perimeter = 2 × (Length + Breadth)

Question 5.
Find the perimeters of
(i) ∆ABE
(ii) the rectangle BCDE in this figure. Whose perimeter is greater?
MP Board Class 7th Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Fractions and Decimals Ex 2.1 9
Solution:
(i) Perimeter of rectangle
∆ABE = AB + BE + EA
MP Board Class 7th Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Fractions and Decimals Ex 2.1 10
(ii) Perimeter of rectangle BCDE = 2(BE+DE)
MP Board Class 7th Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Fractions and Decimals Ex 2.1 11
MP Board Class 7th Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Fractions and Decimals Ex 2.1 12
So, \(\frac{177}{20}>\frac{47}{6}\)
Thus, perimeter of ∆ABE is greater

Question 7.
Ritu ate 2 part of an apple and the remaining apple was eaten by her brother Somu. How much part of the apple did Somu eat? Who had the larger share? By how much?
Solution:
Part of an apple eaten by Ritu = \(\frac{3}{5}\)
Part of an apple eaten by Somu = 1 – (Part of an apple eaten by Ritu)
