Swati shukla answered
Explanation:

When we multiply two rational numbers, we get another rational number as the result. This is because a rational number is defined as the quotient of two integers, and when we multiply two quotients of integers, the result will also be a quotient of integers.

For example, let us consider two rational numbers, 1/2 and 3/4.

Their product is (1/2) x (3/4) = 3/8, which is also a rational number.

Therefore, we can say that the product of two rational numbers is always a rational number.

Answer:

The correct answer is option B, which states that the product of two rational numbers is always a rational number.

Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Anita Menon answered
Let we have a rational number having numerator as 2 and denominator as 3. The rational form is given by :
2/3
Reciprocal of a number is such that the numerator becomes denominator and the denominator becomes numerator. So, the reciprocal of the above rational no will be :
3/2
The reciprocal of the reciprocal of a rational number will be again  2/3. Hence, the reciprocal of the reciprocal of a rational number is the number itself.

simplify : 
  • a)
    1
  • b)
    1/2
  • c)
    0
  • d)
    -1

Let the two rational numbers be x and y.
Given that x = -10/3
Product of two rational numbers is -8/9.
⇒ x * y = -8/9
⇒ -10/3 * y = -8/9
⇒ -10y/3 = -8/9
⇒ -30y = -8
⇒ y = 4/15

Write the rational number whose numerator is 4 × (– 7) and denominator is (3 –7) × (15 – 11).
  • a)
    16/28
  • b)
    8/13
  • c)
    13/8
  • d)
    28/16
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Praveen Kumar answered
Step 1: Calculate the Numerator
The numerator is given as: 4 × (-7)
4 × (-7) = -28
So, the numerator is -28.
Step 2: Calculate the Denominator
The denominator is given as: (3 - 7) × (15 - 11)
First, calculate 3 - 7:
3 - 7 = -4
Next, calculate 15 - 11:
15 - 11 = 4
Now, multiply these two results:
(-4) × 4 = -16
So, the denominator is -16.
Step 3: Write the Rational Number
Now we can write the rational number as:
-28 / -16
Step 4: Simplify the Rational Number
Since both the numerator and denominator are negative, we can cancel the negative signs:
-28 / -16 = 28 / 16
Now, simplify 28/16:
Both 28 and 16 can be divided by 4:
28 ÷ 4 = 7, 16 ÷ 4 = 4
The rational number is: 7/4

0 is greater than any negative number.
-7/6 is a negative number, so 0 is greater than -7/6.
Therefore, the correct symbol to fill in the blank is <, since 0 is less than -7/6 when placed in the order.
The correct symbol is <, and the answer is Option B: <.

What should be added to -5/11 to get 3/11 ?
  • a)
    -1/4
  • b)
    8/11
  • c)
    1
  • d)
    -3/4
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Radha menon answered
To find what should be added to -5/11 to get 3/11, we need to find the missing value that, when added to -5/11, equals 3/11.

Let's represent the missing value as "x".

The equation can be written as:
-5/11 + x = 3/11

To solve for "x", we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.

First, let's get rid of the -5/11 on the left side by adding 5/11 to both sides of the equation:
-5/11 + 5/11 + x = 3/11 + 5/11

Simplifying the left side gives us:
0 + x = 3/11 + 5/11

Combining the fractions on the right side:
x = 8/11

Therefore, the missing value that should be added to -5/11 to get 3/11 is 8/11.

In the answer choices provided, option B) 8/11 is the correct choice.

Which of the rational number is positive?
  • a)
    3/7
  • b)
    -5/7
  • c)
    -4/7
  • d)
    -3/7
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

The rational number that is positive is (a) 3/7. A rational number is a number that can be expressed as the ratio of two integers. Positive rational numbers are those that are greater than zero, while negative rational numbers are those that are less than zero.
In the given list of numbers, 3/7 is the only number that is greater than zero, so it is the only positive rational number. The other numbers, -5/7, -4/7, and -3/7, are all less than zero and are therefore negative rational numbers.

Which is the correct descending order of −2, 4/−5, −11/20, 3/4?
  • a)
    3/4 > −2 > −11/20 > 4/−5
  • b)
    3/4 > −11/20 > −4/5 > −2
  • c)
    3/4 > 4/−5 > −2 > −11/20
  • d)
    3/4 > 4/−5 >−11/20 > −2
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

L.C.M. of 5, 4 and 20 is 20. 
4/−5 × 4/4 = 16/−20;3/4 = 3×5/4×5 = 15/20
−2 < 4/−5 < −11/20 < 3/4
or 
3/4 > −11/20 > 4/−5 > −2
is the required descending order.
Rewrite equivalent fractions of the given fractions and then compare then.
Arrange them in descending order.

Deepak Mehra answered
Let's assume another number be x
According to question
(-7/5) + x = -3
⇒ x = -3 + 7/5
⇒ x = -3/1 + 7/5
LCM of 1 and 5 is 5.
So,
⇒ x = (-15 + 7)/5
⇒ x =  -8/5 
∴ Second number is - 8/5,
The correct option is - 8/5
