Rational Number in Different Forms
We will learn how to find the rational number in different forms using the properties in expressing a given rational number.
1. Express \(\frac{-3}{10}\) as a rational number with denominator 20.
Solution:
In order to express \(\frac{-3}{10}\) as a rational number with denominator 20, we first find the number which when multiplied by 10 gives 20.
Clearly, such a number = 20 ÷ 10 = 2
Multiplying the numerator and denominator of \(\frac{-3}{10}\) by 2, we have
\(\frac{-3}{10}\) = \(\frac{(-3) × 2}{10 × 2}\) = \(\frac{-6}{20}\)
Therefore, expressing \(\frac{-3}{10}\) as a rational number with denominator 20 is \(\frac{-6}{20}\).
2. Express \(\frac{-3}{10}\) as
a rational number with denominator -30.
Solution:
In
order to express \(\frac{-3}{10}\) as a rational number with denominator -30, we first
find a number which when multiplied by 10 gives -30.
Clearly, such a number is = (-30) ÷ 10 = -3.
Multiplying the numerator and denominator of \(\frac{-3}{10}\) by -3, we have
\(\frac{-3}{10}\) = \(\frac{(-3) × (-3)}{10 × (-3)}\) = \(\frac{9}{-30}\)
Therefore, expressing \(\frac{-3}{10}\) as a rational number with denominator -30 is \(\frac{9}{-30}\).
3. Express \(\frac{42}{-63}\) as a rational number with denominator 3.
Solution:
In order to express \(\frac{42}{-63}\) as a rational number with denominator 3, we first find a number which gives 3 when -63 is divided by it.
Clearly, such a number = (-63) ÷ 3 = -21
Dividing the numerator and denominator of \(\frac{42}{-63}\) by -21, we get
\(\frac{42}{-63}\) = \(\frac{42 ÷ (-21)}{(-63) ÷ (-21)}\) = \(\frac{-2}{3}\)
Therefore, expressing \(\frac{42}{-63}\) as a rational number in different form with denominator 3 is \(\frac{-2}{3}\).
4.
Fill
in the blanks with the
appropriate number in the denominator:
\(\frac{7}{13}\) = \(\frac{35}{.....}\) = \(\frac{-63}{.....}\)
Solution:
We
have, 35 ÷ 7 = 5
Therefore, \(\frac{7}{13}\) = \(\frac{7 × 5}{13 × 5}\) = \(\frac{35}{65}\)
Similarly, we have (-63) ÷ 7 = -9
Therefore, \(\frac{7}{13}\) = \(\frac{7 × (-9)}{13 × (9)}\) = \(\frac{-63}{-117}\)
Hence, \(\frac{7}{13}\) = \(\frac{35}{65}\) = \(\frac{-63}{-117}\)
