✪ Question ✪

Express 17/-14 as rational number with numerator -51.

✪ To find ✪

The equivalent rational number of 17/-14 with numerator -51.

✪ Solution ✪

Let the number to be multiplied to the numerator and denominator to get the equivalent rational number be x.

according to condition,

17 × x = -51

⇒17x = -51

⇒x = -51/17

⇒x = -3

So, -51 when divided by 17 gives -3.

In order to find the equivalent rational number, we have to multiply the numerator and denominator with the same number that is -3.

So,

17/-14

= {17×(-3)}/{(-14)×(-3)}

= -51/42

The equivalent rational number = -51/42

✪ Therefore ✪

17/-14 when expressed as rational number with numerator -51 gives -51/42.
