One half of the students in a school are girls, 3/5 of these girls are studying in lower classes. What
fraction of girls are studying in lower classes?
Solution:

Fraction of girls studying in school = 1/2

Fraction of girls studying in lower classes = 3/5 of 1/2

= 3/5 × 1/2

= 3 × 1/5 × 2

= 3/10

Therefore, 3/10 of girls studying in lower classes.

3. Maddy reads three-fifth of 75 pages of his lesson. How many more pages he need to complete the
lesson?

Solution:

Maddy reads = 3/5 of 75

= 3/5 × 75

= 45 pages.

Maddy has to read = 75 – 45.

= 30 pages.
Therefore, Maddy has to read 30 more pages.

4. A herd of cows gives 4 litres of milk each day. But each cow gives one-third of total milk each day.
They give 24 litres milk in six days. How many cows are there in the herd?

Solution:

A herd of cows gives 4 litres of milk each day.


Each cow gives one-third of total milk each day = 1/3 of 4
Therefore, each cow gives 4/3 of milk each day.
Total no. of cows = 4 ÷ 4/3

=4×¾

=3

Therefore there are 3 cows in the herd.
