Puja Limbu did 8 out of 10 math problems, and Raju Lama did 12 out of 15 similar math problems.

a. Express the number of problems solved by each of them in fractions.

Answer :

To solve the question, we need to express the number of problems solved by Puja Limbu and Raju Lama as fractions.

1. Puja Limbu:
- Puja solved 8 math problems out of a total of 10.
- To express this as a fraction, we use the number of problems solved (8) as the numerator and the total number of problems (10) as the denominator.
- Therefore, the fraction of problems Puja solved is [tex]\( \frac{8}{10} \)[/tex].

2. Raju Lama:
- Raju solved 12 math problems out of a total of 15.
- Similarly, we express this as a fraction by using the number of problems solved (12) as the numerator and the total number of problems (15) as the denominator.
- Therefore, the fraction of problems Raju solved is [tex]\( \frac{12}{15} \)[/tex].

Both fractions simplify to 0.8, meaning both Puja and Raju completed the same proportion of their respective sets of problems.
