a) Denominator = 6
b) Numerator = (− 48)

Answer 1

Answer:

Every fraction is a rational number but a rational number need not be a fraction. numerator and denominator If pq is a rational number then the integer p is known as its numerator and the integer q is called the denominator..

Answer 2

Rational number

Step-by-step explanation:

  $\frac{24}{-36}$

We have to express the above rational number as  a rational number whose

1. Denominator = 6

• First, we will convert the above rational number's denominator to 6.
• To do so, we will divide the numerator and denominator by -6.
• $= \frac{24\div (-6)}{-36\div(-6)}$
• $= \frac{24\times (-6)}{-36\times (-6)}$
• $= \frac{-4}{6}$.
• So the equivalent rational number whose  denominator is 6,  $= \frac{-4}{6}$

   2. Numerator = (− 48)

• Now, we will convert the above rational number's numerator to -48.
• To do so, we will multiply the numerator and denominator by -2.
• $= \frac{24\times (-2)}{-36\times (-2)}$
• $= \frac{-48}{72}$
• So the equivalent rational number whose  numerator is -48, $= \frac{-48}{72}$.

Hence,

a) $= \frac{-4}{6}$

b) $= \frac{-48}{72}$
