Let us look at another example.

• Continue this table of $\frac{1}{2}$ for 2 more steps. Sol.
  
• Can you create a similar table for $\frac{1}{4}$ ? Sol. Here represents a whole roti.
  
• Making $\frac{1}{3}$ using a paper strip. Can you use this to also make $\frac{1}{6}$ ? Sol. Making $\frac{1}{3}$ using a paper strip.
  
  We can make $\frac{1}{6}$ by dividing the part $\frac{1}{3}$ into two equal parts.
  
• Draw a picture and write an addition statement as above to show: (a) 5 times $\frac{1}{4}$ of a roti (b) 9 times $\frac{1}{4}$ of a roti Sol. (a) 5 times $\frac{1}{4}$ of a roti.
  
  $\Rightarrow \frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{5}{4}$ $\Rightarrow$ Here, one full roti and $\frac{1}{4}$ part of roti. (b) 9 times $\frac{1}{4}$ of a roti.
  
  $\begin{array}{rl}& \underset{1}{\underbrace{\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}}}+\underset{1}{\underbrace{\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}}}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{9}{4}\\ & +\frac{1}{4}=2+\frac{1}{4}\end{array}$ $\Rightarrow$ Here, 2 full roti and $\frac{1}{4}$ part of roti.
• Match each fractional unit with the correct picture:
  
  Sol.
