Express (2/5) as a rational number with numerator:(i) -56(ii) 154(iii) -750(iv) 500 |
|
Answer» (i) Given (2/5) To get numerator -56 we have to multiply both numerator and denominator by -28 Then we get, (2/5) × (-28/-28) = (-56/-140) Therefore (2/5) as a rational number with numerator -56 is (-56/-150) (ii) Given (2/5) To get numerator 154 we have to multiply both numerator and denominator by 77 Then we get, (2/5) × (77/77) = (154/385) Therefore (2/5) as a rational number with numerator 154 is (154/385) (iii) Given (2/5) To get numerator -750 we have to multiply both numerator and denominator by -375 Then we get, (2/5) × (-375/-375) = (-750/-1875) Therefore (2/5) as a rational number with numerator -750 is (-750/-1875) (iv) Given (2/5) To get numerator 500 we have to multiply both numerator and denominator by 250 Then we get, (2/5) × (250/250) = (500/1250) Therefore (2/5) as a rational number with numerator 500 is (500/1250) |
