Question

Express -36 by 24 as a rational number with denominator 4​

Answer 1

Let the numerator be x.

We have to express -36/24 with denominator 4.

Therefore we can conclude that,

$\sf - \dfrac{36}{24} = \dfrac{x}{4}$

Now, by this equation, we will find the value of x.

$\sf - \dfrac{36}{24} = \dfrac{x}{4}$

$\sf \implies x = \dfrac{- 36 \times 4}{24} = -6$

Therefore the rational number is

$\sf - \dfrac{6}{4}$
