Answer 1

YOUR QUESTION :

Express -48/36 as a rational number with numerator (i) -4 , (ii) 8.

YOUR ANSWER :

We have to express the numerator as

-4 in the first case.

Therefore,

To get numerator 4,

We need to divide - 48 with 4,

-48 = 12

- 4

Therefore we need to divide - 48 by 12 to get - 4.

Then we also need to divide 36 with 12 to get the fraction.

That is, -48 ÷ 12 = -4

36 12 3

To get 8,

We need to divide - 48 with 8

-48 = -6

8

Therefore we need to divide - 48 by - 6 to get 8.

Then we also need to divide 36 with - 6 to get the fraction.

That is, -48 ÷ - 6 = 8

36 - 6 - 6
