Question

In each of the following cases, write the rational number whose
numerator and denominator are respectively as under:
(a) 5 – 39 and 54 – 6

Answer 1

$Given \: rational \: number \: whose$

$numerator \:and \: denominator \: are$

$respectively \: 5 - 39 \:and \: 54 - 6$

$\red{ Required \: rational \: number }$

$= \frac{5-39}{54-6}$

$= \frac{ -34}{48}$

$= \frac{\cancel {2} \times (-17)}{\cancel {2}\times 24}$

$= \frac{-17}{24}$

Therefore.,

$\red{ Required \: rational \: number }$

$\green{ = \frac{-17}{24}}$
