Answer 2

QUESTION :-Express $\sf \frac{ - 8}{11}$ as a rational number with numerator $\sf - 55$.

SOLUTION :-

Let the denominator of the rational number with -55 be $\sf x$.

$\sf \frac{ - 8}{11} = \frac{ - 55}{x}$

Cross-multiplying the terms,

$\sf 8x = 55 \times 11$

$\sf 8x = 605$

$\sf x = \frac{605}{8}$

$\sf \therefore \fbox{x = 75.625}$

Hence, the rational number is $\sf \fbox \frac{ - 55}{75.625}$
