Question

Express 5 over -8 as a rational number with -56 as its denominator ans

Answer 1

Answer:

35

Step-by-step explanation:

IN THIS QUESTION WE WILL USE THE CONCEPT OF EQUIVALENT FRACTIONS

let the numerator be x and we know that denominator is -56

∴ 5/-8 = x/-56

-5/8 = -x/56

BY CROSS MULTIPLICATION

-5 × 56 = -8x

-5 × 56/-8 = x

x = 35
