Fraction as an operator 'of'
Look at these similar squares
Each shaded portion represents `1/2` of 1.
So, the three shaded portions represent `1/2` of 3.
Combine the 3 shaded parts.
It represents `1 1/2 "i.e.," 3/2`.
So, `1/2 "of" 3 "is" 3/2`.
Also, `1/2 xx 3 = 3/2.`
Thus, `1/2 "of" 3 = 1/2 × 3 = 3/2`.
So we see that 'of' represents multiplication.
Example:
| Fraction Operation | Explanation | Mathematical Expression | Diagram |
| `"1"/"4"` of 20 dots | Dividing 20 into 4 equal parts and taking 1 part. | `"1"/"4"`×20=5 |  |
| `"1"/"2"` of 20 dots | Dividing 20 into 2 equal parts and taking 1 part. | `"1"/"2"`×20=10 |  |
| `"3"/"4"` of 20 dots | Dividing 20 into 4 equal parts and taking 3 parts. | `"3"/"4"`× 20 = 15 |  |
| Twice of 5 | 2 rows of 5 balls each. | 5 × 2 = 10 |  |
| `"1"/"2"` times 10 | Taking half of 10. | 10 × `"1"/"2"`= 5 |  |
| Thrice of 5 | Taking three times 5. | 5 × 3 = 15 |  |
| `"1"/"3"` times 15 | Taking one-third of 15. | 15×`"1"/"3"`= 5 |  |
| `"2"/"3"` times 15 | Dividing 15 into 3 equal parts and taking 2 parts. | 15 ×`"2"/"3"`= 10 |  |
Example
What is `1/2` of 10?
`1/2` of 10
= `1/2 xx 10`
= `(1 xx 10)/2`
= `10/2`
= 5.
Example
What is `2/5` of 20?
`2/5` of 20
= `2/5 xx 20`
= `(2 xx 20)/5`
= `40/5`
= 8.
Example
What is `2/3` of 60.
`2/3` of 60
= `2/3 xx 60`
= `(2 xx 60)/3`
= `(120)/3`
= 40.
Example
In a class of 40 students `1/5` of the total number of students like to study English, 25 of the total number like to study Mathematics and the remaining students like to study Science.
(i) How many students like to study English?
(ii) How many students like to study Mathematics?
(iii) What fraction of the total number of students like to study Science?
Total number of students in the class = 40.
(i) Of these `1/5` of the total number of students like to study English.
Thus, the number of students who like to study English = `1/5` of 40
= `1/5 xx 40` = 8 students.
(ii) `2/5 "of" 40 = 2/5 xx 40 = (2 xx 40)/5 = 80/5` = 16 Students.
(iii) The number of students who like English and Mathematics = 8 + 16 = 24.
Thus, the number of students who like Science = 40 – 24 = 16.
Thus, the required fraction is `16/40`.
