1. 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

Solution:

Since the denominators are of same positive numbers we can add them directly

(i) -5/7 + 3/7 = (-5+3)/7 = -2/7

(ii) -15/4 + 7/4 = (-15+7)/4 = -8/4

Further dividing by 4 we get,

-8/4 = -2

(iii) -8/11 + -4/11 = (-8 + (-4))/11 = (-8-4)/11 = -12/11

(iv) 6/13 + -9/13 = (6 + (-9))/13 = (6-9)/13 = -3/13

2. Add the following rational numbers:

(i) 3/4 and -5/8

Solution: The denominators are 4 and 8

By taking LCM for 4 and 8 is 8

We rewrite the given fraction in order to get the same denominator

3/4 = (3×2) / (4×2) = 6/8 and

-5/8 = (-5×1) / (8×1) = -5/8

Since the denominators are same we can add them directly

6/8 + -5/8 = (6 + (-5))/8 = (6-5)/8 = 1/8

(ii) 5/-9 and 7/3

Solution: Firstly we need to convert the denominators to positive numbers.

5/-9 = (5 × -1)/ (-9 × -1) = -5/9

The denominators are 9 and 3

By taking LCM for 9 and 3 is 9

We rewrite the given fraction in order to get the same denominator

-5/9 = (-5×1) / (9×1) = -5/9 and

7/3 = (7×3) / (3×3) = 21/9

Since the denominators are same we can add them directly

-5/9 + 21/9 = (-5+21)/9 = 16/9

(iii) -3 and 3/5

Solution: The denominators are 1 and 5

By taking LCM for 1 and 5 is 5

We rewrite the given fraction in order to get the same denominator

-3/1 = (-3×5) / (1×5) = -15/5 and

3/5 = (3×1) / (5×1) = 3/5

Now, the denominators are same we can add them directly

-15/5 + 3/5 = (-15+3)/5 = -12/5

(iv) -7/27 and 11/18

Solution: The denominators are 27 and 18

By taking LCM for 27 and 18 is 54

We rewrite the given fraction in order to get the same denominator

-7/27 = (-7×2) / (27×2) = -14/54 and

11/18 = (11×3) / (18×3) = 33/54

Now, the denominators are same we can add them directly

-14/54 + 33/54 = (-14+33)/54 = 19/54

(v) 31/-4 and -5/8

Solution: Firstly we need to convert the denominators to positive numbers.

31/-4 = (31 × -1)/ (-4 × -1) = -31/4

The denominators are 4 and 8

By taking LCM for 4 and 8 is 8

We rewrite the given fraction in order to get the same denominator

-31/4 = (-31×2) / (4×2) = -62/8 and

-5/8 = (-5×1) / (8×1) = -5/8

Since the denominators are same we can add them directly

-62/8 + (-5)/8 = (-62 + (-5))/8 = (-62-5)/8 = -67/8

(vi) 5/36 and -7/12

Solution: The denominators are 36 and 12

By taking LCM for 36 and 12 is 36

We rewrite the given fraction in order to get the same denominator

5/36 = (5×1) / (36×1) = 5/36 and

-7/12 = (-7×3) / (12×3) = -21/36

Now, the denominators are same we can add them directly

5/36 + -21/36 = (5 + (-21))/36 = 5-21/36 = -16/36 = -4/9

(vii) -5/16 and 7/24

Solution: The denominators are 16 and 24

By taking LCM for 16 and 24 is 48

We rewrite the given fraction in order to get the same denominator

-5/16 = (-5×3) / (16×3) = -15/48 and

7/24 = (7×2) / (24×2) = 14/48

Now, the denominators are same we can add them directly

-15/48 + 14/48 = (-15 + 14)/48 = -1/48

(viii) 7/-18 and 8/27

Solution: Firstly we need to convert the denominators to positive numbers.

7/-18 = (7 × -1)/ (-18 × -1) = -7/18

The denominators are 18 and 27

By taking LCM for 18 and 27 is 54

We rewrite the given fraction in order to get the same denominator

-7/18 = (-7×3) / (18×3) = -21/54 and

8/27 = (8×2) / (27×2) = 16/54

Since the denominators are same we can add them directly

-21/54 + 16/54 = (-21 + 16)/54 = -5/54

3.Simplify:

(i) 8/9 + -11/6

Solution: let us take the LCM for 9 and 6 which is 18

(8×2)/(9×2) + (-11×3)/(6×3)

16/18 + -33/18

Since the denominators are same we can add them directly

(16-33)/18 = -17/18

(ii) 3 + 5/-7

Solution: Firstly convert the denominator to positive number

5/-7 = (5×-1)/(-7×-1) = -5/7

3/1 + -5/7

Now let us take the LCM for 1 and 7 which is 7

(3×7)/(1×7) + (-5×1)/(7×1)

21/7 + -5/7

Since the denominators are same we can add them directly

(21-5)/7 = 16/7

(iii) 1/-12 + 2/-15

Solution: Firstly convert the denominator to positive number

1/-12 = (1×-1)/(-12×-1) = -1/12

2/-15 = (2×-1)/(-15×-1) = -2/15

-1/12 + -2/15

Now let us take the LCM for 12 and 15 which is 60

(-1×5)/(12×5) + (-2×4)/(15×4)

-5/60 + -8/60

Since the denominators are same we can add them directly

(-5-8)/60 = -13/60

(iv) -8/19 + -4/57

Solution: let us take the LCM for 19 and 57 which is 57

(-8×3)/(19×3) + (-4×1)/(57×1)

-24/57 + -4/57

Since the denominators are same we can add them directly

(-24-4)/57 = -28/57

(v) 7/9 + 3/-4

Solution: Firstly convert the denominator to positive number

3/-4 = (3×-1)/(-4×-1) = -3/4

7/9 + -3/4

Now let us take the LCM for 9 and 4 which is 36

(7×4)/(9×4) + (-3×9)/(4×9)

28/36 + -27/36

Since the denominators are same we can add them directly

(28-27)/36 = 1/36

(vi) 5/26 + 11/-39

Solution: Firstly convert the denominator to positive number

11/-39 = (11×-1)/(-39×-1) = -11/39

5/26 + -11/39

Now let us take the LCM for 26 and 39 which is 78

(5×3)/(26×3) + (-11×2)/(39×2)

15/78 + -22/78

Since the denominators are same we can add them
