Express\(\frac{-42}{98}\) as a rational number with denominator 7.

Answer»

For a fraction, \(\frac{a}{b}\)

\(\frac{a}{b}=\frac{a \div n}{b \div n}\)

Where, n ≠ 0 and n divides both a and b 

(i) We have to express \(\frac{-42}{98}\) as a rational number with denominator 7. 

In order to make the denominator 7, divide 98 by 14. Therefore,

\(\frac{-42}{98}=\frac{-42\div14}{98\div14}\)

\(\Rightarrow\)\(\frac{-42}{98}=\frac{-3}{7}\)
