Question

Show that the rational numbers -15/35 and 4/(-6) are not equal?

Answer 1

Answer:

-15/35 = ( If you decrease it ) -3/7

-4/6 = ( If you decrease it ) -2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. -15/ 35 can be converted into its lowest form which is -3/7

2. -4/6 can also be converted to its  lowest form which is -2/3 (In rational numbers the minus sign cannot be on the denominator so it is shifted to the numerator)

This proves that -15/35 and 4/-6 are not equal
