Add the following rational numbers:(i) (-5/7) and (3/7)(ii) (-15/4) and (7/4)(iii) (-8/11) and (-4/11)(iv) (6/13) and (-9/13) |
Answer» (i) Given (-5/7) and (3/7) = (-5/7) + (3/7) Here denominators are same so add the numerator = ((-5+3)/7) = (-2/7) (ii) Given (-15/4) and (7/4) = (-15/4) + (7/4) Here denominators are same so add the numerator = ((-15 + 7)/4) = (-8/4) On simplifying = -2 (iii) Given (-8/11) and (-4/11) = (-8/11) + (-4/11) Here denominators are same so add the numerator = (-8 + (-4))/11 = (-12/11) (iv) Given (6/13) and (-9/13) = (6/13) + (-9/13) Here denominators are same so add the numerator = (6 + (-9))/13 = (-3/13) |
