Question

Multiply the rational numbers:

i)-5/17 by 51/(-60)

(ii) -6/11 by -55/36

Verify the following:

(i) -12/5 + 2/7 = 2/7 + -12/7

(ii) -5/8 + -9/13 = -9/13 + -5 /8
Verify each of the following: 
(i) 4/17 × (-7)/9 = (-7)/9 × 4/17
(ii) (-8)/11 × 1/5 = 1/5 × (-8)/11
7. Verify each of the following:
(i) (3/5 × 12/13) × 7/18 = 3/5 ×(12/13 × 7/8)
(ii) (-13)/24 × {(-12)/5 × 35/36} = {(-13)/24 × (-12)/5} × 35/36

Answer 1

Answer:

Their prime factorization: 7 is a prime number; 15=3×5; Fraction: 5/17 already reduced to the lowest terms. The numerator and the denominator have no common prime factors. Their prime factorization: 5 is a prime number; 17 is a prime number; >> Reduce (simplify) fractions to their simplest form, online calculator Multiply the numerators and the denominators of the fractions separately: Factor all the numbers in order to easily reduce (simplify) the end fraction. 7/15×5/17=(7×5)/(15×17
