Question

express -6 by 10 as a rational number with denominator 5​

Answer 1

$\huge\boxed{\fcolorbox{red}{ink}{SOLUTION:}}$

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

For a fraction,

$\frac{a}{b}$

• Where, n ≠ 0 and n divides both a and b

• We have to express -6/10 as a rational number with denominator 5.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

In order to make the denominator 5, divide -6 and 10 by 2.

$\frac{ - 6}{10} = \frac{ - 6 \div 2}{10 \div 2} = \frac{ - 3}{5}$

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

For a fraction,

$\huge \tt \color{red}{ \frac{a}{b}}$

Where, n ≠ 0 and n divides both a and b

We have to express -6/10 as a rational number with denominator 5.

In order to make the denominator 5, divide -6 and 10 by 2.

Therefore,

$\huge \tt \color{purple}{ \frac{ - 6}{10} = \frac{ - 6 \div 2}{10 \div 2} = \frac{ - 3}{5} }$
