Question 511 Mark
Without actual division, show that the following rational numbers is a non-terminating repeating decimal:
$\frac{73}{\big(2^2\times3^3\times5\big)}$
Answer
$\frac{73}{\big(2^2\times3^3\times5\big)}$
We know $2, 3$ or $5$ is not a factor of $73$, so it is in its simplest form.
Moreover, $\left(2^2 \times 3^3 \times 5\right) \neq\left(2^m \times 5^n\right)$
Hence, the given rational is non-terminating repeating decimal.

Question 521 Mark
Classify the following number as rational or irrational:
$\big(2-3\sqrt5\big)$
Answer
Let $2-3\sqrt5$ be rational.
Hence 2 and $2-3\sqrt5$ are rational.
$\therefore2-\big(2-3\sqrt5\big)=2-2+3\sqrt5$
$=3\sqrt5=$ rational $[\because$ Difference of two rational is rational$]$
$\therefore\frac{1}{3}\times3\sqrt5=\sqrt5=$ rational $[\because$ Product of two rational is rational$]$
This contradicts the fact that $\sqrt5$ is irrational.
The contradiction arises by assuming $2-3\sqrt5$ is rational.
Hence, $2-3\sqrt5$ is irrational.

Question 541 Mark
Very-Short-Answer Questions:
Is it possible to have two numbers whose $HCF$ is $25$ and $LCM$ is $520?$
Answer
No, it is not possible since the $LCM$ has to be a multiple of the $HCF$.
$520$ is not a multiple of $25$

Question 551 Mark
Without actual division, show that the following rational numbers is a terminating decimal. Express in decimal form:
$\frac{23}{\big(2^3\times5^2\big)}$
Answer
$\frac{23}{2^3\times5^2}=\frac{23\times5}{2^3\times5^3}$
$=\frac{115}{1000}=0.115$
We know either $2$ or $5$ is not a factor of $23$, so it is in its simplest form.
Moreover, it is in the form of $(2^m× 5^n).$
Hence, the given rational is terminating.

Question 561 Mark
Without actual division, show that the following rational numbers is a terminating decimal. Express in decimal form:
$\frac{15}{1600}$
Answer
$\frac{15}{1600}=\frac{15}{2^6\times5^2}=\frac{15\times5^4}{2^6\times5^6}$
$=\frac{9375}{1000000}=0.009375$
We know either $2$ or $5$ is not a factor of $15$, so it is in its simplest form.
Moreover, it is in the form of $(2^m× 5^n).$
Hence, the given rational is terminating.

Question 611 Mark
Find the simplest form of:
$\frac{473}{645}$
Answer
Prime factorisation of $473$ and $645$ is:
$473 = 11 \times 43$
$645 = 3 \times 5 \times 43$
Therefore, $\frac{473}{645}=\frac{11\times\text{43}}{3\times5\times43}=\frac{11}{15}$
Thus, simplest form of $\frac{473}{645}$ is $\frac{11}{15}.$

Question 621 Mark
Without actual division, show that the following rational numbers is a non-terminating repeating decimal:
$\frac{9}{35}$
Answer
$\frac{9}{35}=\frac{9}{5\times7}$
We know either $5$ or $7$ is not a factor of $9$, so it is in its simplest form.
Moreover, $(5 × 7) ≠ (2^m× 5^n)$
Hence, the given rational is non-terminating repeating decimal.

Question 651 Mark
Very-Short-Answer Questions:
Show that there is no value of n for which $\left(2^n \times 5^n\right)$ ends in $5$.
Answer
$ 2 \times 5=10 $
$ \Rightarrow(2 \times 5)=10^n $
$ \Rightarrow\left(2^n \times 5^n\right)=10^n$
$\text { Since }\left(2^n \times 5^n\right) \text { when combined will give } 0 \text { as the last digit, for value of } n \text {, it can never end in } 5$

Question 661 Mark
Prove that $\frac{1}{\sqrt3}$ is irrational.
Hint: $\frac{1}{\sqrt3} =\frac{1}{\sqrt3}\times\frac{\sqrt3}{\sqrt3}=\frac{1}{3}.\sqrt3$
Answer
Let $\frac{1}{\sqrt3}$ be rational.
$\therefore\frac{1}{\sqrt3}=\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}},$ where $a, b$ are positive integers having no common factor other than $1$
$\therefore\sqrt3=\frac{\text{b}}{\text{a}}\dots(1)$
Since $a, b$ are non-zero integers, $\frac{\text{b}}{\text{a}}$ is rational.
Thus, equation $(1)$ shows that $\sqrt3$ is rational.
This contradicts the fact that $\sqrt3$ is rational.
The contradiction arises by assuming $\sqrt3$ is rational.
Hence, $\frac{1}{\sqrt3}$ is irrational.

Question 731 Mark
Without actual division, show that the following rational numbers is a non-terminating repeating decimal:
$\frac{64}{455}$
Answer
$\frac{64}{455}=\frac{64}{5\times7\times13}$

Question 741 Mark
Classify the following number as rational or irrational:
$3\sqrt{7}$
Answer
Let $3\sqrt7$ be rational.
