2) Write any four equivalent rational
numbers for -3/8.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{-6}{16}$, $\frac{-9}{24}$,  $\frac{-12}{32}$, $\frac{-15}{40}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{-3}{8}$

• Multiplying both numerator and denominator by 2,

$=\frac{-3}{8}$ × $\frac{2}{2}$

⇒ $\frac{-6}{16}$

• Multiplying both numerator and denominator by 3,

$=\frac{-3}{8}$ × $\frac{3}{3}$

⇒ $\frac{-9}{24}$

• Multiplying both numerator and denominator by 4,

$=\frac{-3}{8}$ × $\frac{4}{4}$

⇒ $\frac{-12}{32}$

• Multiplying both numerator and denominator by 5,

$=\frac{-3}{8}$ × $\frac{5}{5}$

⇒ $\frac{-15}{40}$

∴ Four equivalent rational numbers for $\frac{-3}{8}$ $=\frac{-6}{16}$, $\frac{-9}{24}$,  $\frac{-12}{32}$, $\frac{-15}{40}$
