Multiplicative inverse of a negative rational number is:
  • A
    A positive rational number.
  • A negative rational number.
  • C
    $0$
  • D
    $1$
Answer
Correct option: B.
A negative rational number.

 We know that, the product of two rational numbers is $1,$ taken they are multiplication inverse of each other, e.g.
Suppose, $p $ is negative rational number, i.e.
$\frac{1}{\text{p}}$ is the multiplicative inverse of $-p,$
Then, $-\text{p}\times\frac{1}{-\text{p}}= 1$
Hence, multiplicative inverse of a negative rational number is a negative rational number.

$-\frac{3}{8}+\frac{1}{7}=+\Big(\frac{-3}{8}\Big)$ is an example to show that:
  • Addition of rational numbers is commutative.
  • B
    Rational numbers are closed under addition.
  • C
    Addition of rational number is associative.
  • D
    Rational numbers are distributive under addition.
Answer
Correct option: A.
Addition of rational numbers is commutative.

 Given, $-\frac{3}{8}+\frac{1}{7}=+\Big(\frac{-3}{8}\Big)$
Let two rational number, $\text{a}=\frac{-3}{8},\ \text{b}=\frac{1}{7}$
$\therefore\text{a}+\text{b}=\frac{-3}{8}+\frac{1}{7}$
$=\frac{-21+8}{56}$
$=\frac{-13}{56}$
and
$\text{b}+\text{a}=\frac{1}{7}+\frac{-3}{8}$
$=\frac{8-21}{56}$
$=\frac{-13}{56}$
Clearly, $a + b = b + a$
So, addition is communucation for rational numbers.

  • $\frac{43}{6},\frac{22}{6},\frac{15}{6},\frac{23}{6},\frac{47}{6}$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$\frac{43}{6},\frac{22}{6},\frac{15}{6},\frac{23}{6},\frac{47}{6}$

$ 7$ and $8$ can be written as $\frac{7}{1}$ and $\frac{8}{1}$
As we need to find five rational numbers between two consecutive integers, multiply the numerator and denominator of both the fractions by $6,$
$\frac{7\times6}{1\times6}=\frac{42}{6}\text{and }\frac{8\times6}{1\times6}=\frac{48}{6}$
So, the $5$ rational numbers between $7$ and $8$ are $\frac{43}{6},\frac{22}{6},\frac{15}{6},\frac{23}{6},\frac{47}{6}$
After simplifying we get, $\frac{43}{6},\frac{22}{6},\frac{15}{6},\frac{23}{6},\frac{47}{6}$
