Answer 1

Answer:

2/-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

$\large{\mathbb{\pmb{\color{crimson}{\maltese~QUESTION~:}}}}$

$\sf{Which~of~the~following~is~a~negative~rational~number:~\dfrac{1}{2}~,\dfrac{1}{3}~,\dfrac{-4}{-5}~,\dfrac{2}{-3}}$

$\large{\mathbb{\pmb{\color{crimson}{\maltese~ANSWER~:}}}}$

$\implies\huge{\boxed{\sf{\color{maroon}{\dfrac{2}{-3}}}}}$

$\large{\mathbb{\pmb{\color{crimson}{\maltese~EXPLANATION~:}}}}$

$\sf\dfrac{1}{2}\implies\sf\purple{Positive~rational~number}$

$\sf\dfrac{1}{3}\implies\sf\pink{Postive~rational~number}$

$\sf\dfrac{-4}{-5}\implies\sf\purple{Postive~rational~number}$

Dont get confused of seeing "negative sign". As $\dfrac{-4}{-5}$ contains negative symbols in both the numerator and denominator, so it gets cancelled.

$\sf\dfrac{2}{-3}\implies\sf\pink{Negative~rational~number}$

Here, it is negative because ${(-)×(+)=-}$
