Add and express the sum as a mixed fraction:(i) \(\frac{-12}{5}\) and \(\frac{43}{10}\)(ii) \(\frac{24}{7}\) and \(\frac{-11}{4}\)(iii) \(\frac{-31}{6}\) and \(\frac{-27}{8}\)(iv) \(\frac{101}{6}\) and \(\frac{7}{8}\) |
Answer» (i) The denominators of the given rational numbers 5 and 10 respectively. The L.C.M of 5 and 10 is 10 Now, We write the given rational numbers into forms in which both of them have the same denominator \(\frac{-12\times2}{5\times2}=\frac{-24}{10}\) And, \(\frac{43\times1}{10\times1}=\frac{43}{10}\) Therefore, \(\frac{-24}{10}+\frac{43}{10}=\frac{-24+43}{10}\) = \(\frac{19}{10}\) = \(1\frac{9}{10}\) (ii) The denominators of the given rational numbers 7 and 4 respectively. The L.C.M of 7 and 4 is 28 Now, We write the given rational numbers into forms in which both of them have the same denominator \(\frac{24\times4}{7\times4}=\frac{96}{28}\) And, \(\frac{-11\times7}{4\times7}=\frac{-77}{28}\) Therefore, \(\frac{96}{28}-\frac{77}{28}=\frac{96-77}{28}\) = \(\frac{19}{28}\) = \(1\frac{9}{10}\) (iii) The denominators of the given rational numbers 6 and 8 respectively. The L.C.M of 6 and 8 is 24 Now, We write the given rational numbers into forms in which both of them have the same denominator \(\frac{-31\times4}{6\times4}=\frac{-124}{24}\) And, \(\frac{-27\times3}{8\times3}=\frac{-81}{24}\) Therefore, \(\frac{-124}{24}-\frac{81}{24}=\frac{-124-81}{24}\) = \(\frac{-205}{24}\) \(-8\frac{13}{24}\) (iv) The denominators of the given rational numbers 6 and 8 respectively. The L.C.M of 6 and 8 is 24 Now, We write the given rational numbers into forms in which both of them have the same denominator \(\frac{101\times4}{6\times4}=\frac{404}{24}\) And, \(\frac{7\times3}{8\times3}=\frac{21}{24}\) Therefore, \(\frac{404}{24}+\frac{21}{24}=\frac{404+21}{24}\) = \(\frac{425}{24}\) = \(17\frac{17}{24}\) |
