Answer:
Let's break down the problem step-by-step to answer each part:
Master Raju Limbu buys 3 breads, and each bread is cut into four equal slices.
(i) **How many equal slices of bread are made?**
Each bread is cut into 4 slices. Since there are 3 breads, the total number of slices is:
\[ 3 \text{ breads} \times 4 \text{ slices/bread} = 12 \text{ slices} \]
(ii) **What fraction of the three breads does he share equally?**
Assuming he shares all 12 slices equally, he shares:
\[ \frac{12}{12} = 1 \]
So, he shares 1 (or all) of the three breads.
(iii) **Draw 3 rectangles and show the fraction.**
Here is a description of how to draw the rectangles:
- Draw 3 rectangles representing the 3 breads.
- Divide each rectangle into 4 equal parts, representing the 4 slices per bread.
- Label all the slices to show the total 12 slices.
Since I can't draw here, imagine 3 rectangles divided into 4 equal sections each, making a total of 12 equal parts.
(iv) **Is the fraction proper or improper?**
A proper fraction has a numerator smaller than the denominator, while an improper fraction has a numerator larger than or equal to the denominator.
The fraction \(\frac{12}{12}\) is an improper fraction because the numerator (12) is equal to the denominator (12).
(v) **Convert this fraction into a mixed number.**
An improper fraction can be converted into a mixed number by dividing the numerator by the denominator:
\[ \frac{12}{12} = 1 \]
So, \(\frac{12}{12}\) as a mixed number is \(1\).
(vi) **How many whole breads does he share in total?**
Since \(\frac{12}{12} = 1\), he shares 1 whole bread in total.
To summarize:
(i) 12 slices
(ii) \(\frac{12}{12}\)
(iii) Imagine 3 rectangles, each divided into 4 equal slices
(iv) The fraction is improper
(v) The mixed number is 1
(vi) He shares 1 whole bread in total
