Question

Which of the following is a positive rational number?
1 point
−1/2
2/−3
−3/−4
-5

Answer 1

Given:

$a) -1/2\\b)2/-3\\c)-3/-4\\d)-5$

We have to find the positive rational number from the above numbers.

• As we know that a rational number is a number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction p/q of two integers, a numerator p, and a non-zero denominator q.
• For example, −3/7 is a rational number, as is every integer.
• And a rational number is positive if its numerator and denominator have the same signs(either both are positive or both are negative).

We are solving in the following way:

We have, the numbers are

$-1/2,2/-3,-3/-4,-5$

From the above concept, we can say that $-3/-4$is a positive rational number.

Hence, $-3/-4$is a positive rational number.
