Q1.
Three rotis are shared equally by four children. Show the division in the picture and write a fraction for how much each child gets. Also, write the corresponding division facts, addition facts, and multiplication facts.
Answer

Cut each of the 3 rotis into 4 equal parts. That gives 12 quarters, and 12 ÷ 4 = 3 quarters for every child.

Fraction of roti each child gets = 3/4
Division fact: 3 ÷ 4 = 3/4
Addition fact: 3 = 3/4 + 3/4 + 3/4 + 3/4
Multiplication fact: 3 = 4 × 3/4
Check it yourself: 3/4 + 3/4 + 3/4 + 3/4 = 12/4 = 3 rotis ✔
Q2.
Draw a picture to show how much each child gets when 2 rotis are shared equally by 4 children. Also, write the corresponding division facts, addition facts, and multiplication facts.
Answer

Cut both rotis into halves. That makes 4 halves — one half for each child.

Each child gets 2/4 = 1/2 roti
Division fact: 2 ÷ 4 = 2/4 = 1/2
Addition fact: 2 = 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2
Multiplication fact: 2 = 4 × 1/2
Q3.
Anil was in a group where 2 cakes were divided equally among 5 children. How much cake would Anil get?
Answer

Cut each cake into 5 equal parts: 2 × 5 = 10 pieces of 1⁄5 cake, shared by 5 children.

2 ÷ 5 = 2/5 cake
Each child: 1/5 + 1/5 = 2/5

Answer: Anil gets 2⁄5 of a cake.
