Question

4. Express the given below in standard form:
a) -11/33
b) 33/-22
c) 14/19
d) -30/26
e) -27/18
​

Answer 1

Given number = -11/33

The greatest common divisor of 11 and 33 is = 11

Thus, -11÷11/33÷11 = -1/3

b) 33/-22

Given number = 33/-22

33/-22 = 33×(-1)/-22×(-1) = -33/22

The greatest common divisor of 33 and 22 is = 11

Thus , 33÷11/22÷11 = 3/2

C) 14/19

Given number = 14/19

Standard form of 14/19 is 14/19

d) -30/26

Given number = -30/26

The greatest common divisor of 30 and 26 = 2

Thus, -30÷2/26÷2 = -15/13

The standard form of -30/26 is -15/13

e) -27/18

Given number = -27/18

The greatest common divisor of 27 and 18 is 9

Thus , -27÷9/18÷9 = -3/2
