Q1.
Make a flower garden with seven flowering seeds—Mogra, Marigold, Jasmine, Rose, Lily, Hibiscus, and Periwinkle? a) Marigold in one-seventh (1/7) and Rose and Hibiscus in three-sevenths (3/7) part each.
Answer

Cut the garden into 7 equal strips and fill them like this.

The garden strip is divided into 7 equal parts.
Marigold …… 1 strip = 1/7
Rose ………… 3 strips = 3/7
Hibiscus ……… 3 strips = 3/7
1 + 3 + 3 = 7 strips = the whole garden

One way to plant the garden: 1 strip of Marigold, 3 of Rose and 3 of Hibiscus.
Why it happens: Each strip is one-seventh of the garden, so 3 strips together make 3/7. All seven strips fill the garden exactly.
Tip: The strips of one flower need not be next to each other. Any arrangement is right as long as the counts are 1, 3 and 3.
Q2.
Make a flower garden with seven flowering seeds—Mogra, Marigold, Jasmine, Rose, Lily, Hibiscus, and Periwinkle? b) Lily in three-sevenths (3/7), Marigold in two-sevenths (2/7) and Periwinkle in another two-sevenths (2/7).
Answer

Again cut the garden into 7 equal strips.

The garden strip is divided into 7 equal parts.
Lily …………… 3 strips = 3/7
Marigold ……… 2 strips = 2/7
Periwinkle …… 2 strips = 2/7
3 + 2 + 2 = 7 strips = the whole garden

One way to plant this garden: 3 strips of Lily, 2 of Marigold and 2 of Periwinkle.
Why it happens: Two strips out of seven equal strips is written as 2/7, because we have taken 2 of the 7 equal parts.
Q3.
Make a flower garden with seven flowering seeds—Mogra, Marigold, Jasmine, Rose, Lily, Hibiscus, and Periwinkle? c) Mogra in five-sevenths (5/7) part and Hibiscus in two-sevenths (2/7).
Answer

Fill five strips with Mogra and two strips with Hibiscus.

The garden strip is divided into 7 equal parts.
Mogra ……… 5 strips = 5/7
Hibiscus …… 2 strips = 2/7
5 + 2 = 7 strips = the whole garden
MograMograMograMograMograHibiscusHibiscus
One way to plant this garden: 5 strips of Mogra and 2 strips of Hibiscus.
Why it happens: 5/7 and 2/7 together make 7/7, and 7/7 is one whole garden.
Check it yourself: In all three gardens the strip counts add up to 7. If they do not, some part of the garden has been left empty or used twice.
