Fractions and Decimals Class 7 Notes | Complete Study Guide with Examples
Introduction
Fractions and Decimals are among the most important topics in Class 7 Mathematics. They form the foundation for higher-level concepts such as Percentage, Ratio & Proportion, Profit & Loss, Algebra, and Data Handling. Previous topic : Algebraic Expressions
Fractions represent a part of a whole, while Decimals provide another way to express fractions using place values. Understanding these concepts helps students solve real-life problems involving money, measurements, and calculations.
हिंदी में:
Fractions (भिन्न) और Decimals (दशमलव) Class 7 Mathematics का एक महत्वपूर्ण अध्याय है। यह अध्याय Percentage, Ratio-Proportion, Algebra आदि जैसे अध्यायों की नींव तैयार करता है। Fractions किसी पूर्ण वस्तु के भाग को दर्शाती हैं जबकि Decimals उसी भिन्न को दशमलव रूप में व्यक्त करती हैं।

Abbreviations
| Abbreviation | Full Form |
|---|---|
| Num. | Numerator |
| Den. | Denominator |
| Dec. | Decimal |
| LCM | Least Common Multiple |
| HCF | Highest Common Factor |
| PV | Place Value |
1. What are Fractions?
A fraction represents a part of a whole.
Example:
3/5
Here,
- 3 = Numerator (अंश)
- 5 = Denominator (हर)
हिंदी में:
भिन्न किसी पूर्ण वस्तु के हिस्से को दर्शाती है।
उदाहरण: 3/5
जहाँ,
- 3 = अंश
- 5 = हर
2. Types of Fractions
Proper Fraction
Numerator < Denominator
Example: 3/7
Improper Fraction
Numerator ≥ Denominator
Example: 9/5
Mixed Fraction
Combination of whole number and fraction.
Example: 2⅓
Equivalent Fractions
1/2 = 2/4 = 4/8
हिंदी में:
समान मान वाली भिन्नों को समतुल्य भिन्न कहते हैं।
3. Addition and Subtraction of Fractions
Same Denominator
2/7 + 3/7 = 5/7
Different Denominator
1/2 + 1/3
LCM of 2 and 3 = 6
= 3/6 + 2/6
= 5/6
हिंदी में:
अलग-अलग हर होने पर पहले LCM निकालकर हर समान बनाया जाता है।
4. Multiplication of Fractions
Formula:
(a/b) × (c/d) = ac/bd
Example:
2/3 × 5/4
= 10/12
= 5/6
5. Division of Fractions
Formula:
(a/b) ÷ (c/d)
= (a/b) × (d/c)
Example:
3/5 ÷ 2/7
= 3/5 × 7/2
= 21/10
6. What are Decimals?
Decimals represent fractions with denominator 10, 100, 1000 etc.
Examples:
- 0.5
- 2.75
- 10.125
हिंदी में:
दशमलव ऐसी संख्याएँ होती हैं जिनमें पूर्णांक और भिन्न भाग को दशमलव बिंदु (.) द्वारा अलग किया जाता है।
7. Decimal Place Value Chart
| Place | Value |
| Ones | 1 |
| Tenths | 1/10 |
| Hundredths | 1/100 |
| Thousandths | 1/1000 |
Example:
12.345
- 1 = Tens
- 2 = Ones
- 3 = Tenths
- 4 = Hundredths
- 5 = Thousandths
8. Conversion of Fractions into Decimals
Example 1
1/2 = 0.5
Example 2
3/4 = 0.75
Example 3
7/10 = 0.7
हिंदी में:
भिन्न को दशमलव में बदलने के लिए अंश को हर से भाग देते हैं।
9. Operations on Decimals
Addition
2.35 + 1.20
= 3.55
Subtraction
5.40 − 2.15
= 3.25
Multiplication
1.5 × 2
= 3.0
Division
4.8 ÷ 2
= 2.4
Important Formulas
- Fraction × Fraction = Product of Numerators / Product of Denominators
- Fraction ÷ Fraction = Multiply by Reciprocal
- Decimal to Fraction:
0.25 = 25/100 = 1/4 - Fraction to Decimal:
Numerator ÷ Denominator
