Q: A government scheme allocates ₹2,00,000 for 5 different initiatives. If one initiative receives ₹50,000, what fraction of the total budget does it represent?

Steps: 6
Step 1: Identify the total budget allocated by the government scheme, which is ₹2,00,000.
Step 2: Identify the amount received by one initiative, which is ₹50,000.
Step 3: Write the fraction of the budget that this initiative represents by placing the amount received (₹50,000) over the total budget (₹2,00,000).
Step 4: The fraction is written as ₹50,000 / ₹2,00,000.
