Which of the following pairs represent the same rational number ?(i) \(\frac{8}{-5}\) and \(\frac{-24}{15}\)(ii) \(\frac{1}{3}\) and \(\frac{-1}{9}\)(iii) \(\frac{-5}{-9}\) and \(\frac{5}{-9}\) |

Answer» (i) \(\frac{8}{-5}\) and \(\frac{-24}{15}\) \(\frac{8}{-5}\times\frac{-3}{-3} = \frac{-24}{15}\) ∴ The above pair of numbers represent the same rational number. (ii) \(\frac{1}{3}\) and \(\frac{-1}{9}\) \(\frac{1}{3}\) is a positive rational number and \(\frac{-1}{9}\) is a negative Rational Number. Therefore this pair does not represent the same rational number. (iii) \(\frac{-5}{-9}\) and \(\frac{5}{-9}\) \(\frac{-5}{-9}\times\frac{-1}{-1} = \frac{5}{9}\) is a positive rational number and \(\frac{5}{-9}\) is a negative rational number. |
