Q1. Do −4 / 9 and −16 / 36 represent the same number?
Ans: −4 / 9 and −16 / 36
−4 / 9 = −4 × 4 / 9 × 4 = −1636
Or −1636 = −16 ÷ 4 / 36 ÷ 4 = −49
Hence, both represent the same number.
Q2. List five rational numbers between −4 and −3.
Ans:
−4 x 6 / 6 = −24 / 6
−3 × 6 / 6 = −18 / 6
The rational numbers are
Q3. Give four equivalent numbers for 38.
Ans:
Q4. Rewrite the following rational numbers in the simplest form.
(a) 12 / 36
(b) 39 / 104
Ans:
(a) HCF of 12 and 36 is 12.
Dividing both numerator and denominator by 12,
12÷12 / 36÷12
=13
(b) HCF of 39 and 104 is 13.
Dividing both numerator and denominator by 13,
39÷13 / 104÷13
= 38
