Question

Express 24/-30 as a rational number with numerator-: 1. -8 2.-12​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To get the numerator as 8 we divide both numerator and denominator by 3 (as 24 ÷ 3 = 8) can be expressed as

$\frac{24}{ - 30} = - \frac{ \frac{24}{3} }{ \frac{30}{3} } \\ = - \frac{8}{10}$

2. To get 12 as a numerator we divide both

the numerator and denominator by 2 (24 ÷

2 = 12)..

$\frac{24}{ - 30} = - \frac{ \frac{24}{2} }{ \frac{30}{2} } \\ = - \frac{12}{15}$
