Question

find the value of of a if if 5/11and a/-33 are equivalent rational numbers ​

Answer 1

Answer:

-15

put 11a = -33 x 5

we get a = (-33x5)/11

Answer 2

Given:

We have given two rational numbers $\frac{5}{11} ,\frac{a}{-33}$.

To Find:

We have to find the value of a.

Step-by-step explanation:

• We have given two rational numbers which are written as the  $\frac{5}{11} ,\frac{a}{-33}$.
• We will say the two rational numbers are said to be equivalent when the rational number and equal.

• Now we will  equating the above rational numbers

        $\frac{5}{11} =\frac{a}{-33}$

• Now we do  cross multiplication in the above equation we get the result.

       $5\times(-33)=a\times11$

• Now take 11 on the left hand side which results in divide form after this we will simplify the equation by multiplying the numerator terms and dividing them by denominator terms.

        $\frac{5\times(-33)}{11} =a\\\\5\times(-3)=a\\\\-15=a$

Hence, the value of a is -15.
