Question

Reduce the rational numbers into standard form: a) 25/40 b) (39/-12)​

Answer 1

The reduced rational numbers are,

$\frac{5}{8}, \frac{13}{-4}$

• When we talk about the number line containing the real numbers, that is the real number line, there are numbers of the form  $\frac{p}{q}$  where p and q are non-zero integers. These numbers, that can be represented in the fraction format are called rational numbers. The numbers, on the other hand, that cannot be represented in this manner are called irrational numbers.
• Additionally, every fraction that has an integer denominator and numerator and a denominator that is not zero falls into the category of rational numbers.
• The outcome of dividing a rational number, or fraction, will be a decimal number, either a terminating decimal or a repeating decimal.

Here, according to the given information, the rational numbers are given as,

(a) $\frac{25}{40} = \frac{5}{8}$.

(b) $\frac{39}{-12}=\frac{13}{-4}$.

Hence, the reduced rational numbers are,

$\frac{5}{8}, \frac{13}{-4}$.
