Question 41 Mark
Find $-2 \frac{1}{9}-6$
Answer
View full question & answer→$-2 \frac{1}{9}-6=\frac{-19}{9}-6$
=$\frac{-19}{9}+(-6)=\frac{-19}{9}+\frac{(-6)}{1}$
$LCM$ of $9$ and $1$ is $9.$
$-6\over 1$=$-6\times9\over 1 \times 9$=$-54\over 9$
Thus, $\frac{-19}{9}+\frac{(-6)}{1}=\frac{-19}{9}+\frac{(-54)}{9}$
$\frac{-19+(-54)}{9}=\frac{-73}{9}=-8 \frac{1}{9}$
=$\frac{-19}{9}+(-6)=\frac{-19}{9}+\frac{(-6)}{1}$
$LCM$ of $9$ and $1$ is $9.$
$-6\over 1$=$-6\times9\over 1 \times 9$=$-54\over 9$
Thus, $\frac{-19}{9}+\frac{(-6)}{1}=\frac{-19}{9}+\frac{(-54)}{9}$
$\frac{-19+(-54)}{9}=\frac{-73}{9}=-8 \frac{1}{9}$
Question 51 Mark

Question 71 Mark
Which is greater in $-3 \frac{2}{7},-3 \frac{4}{5}$
Answer
View full question & answer→To find the greater rational number we need to have a common denominator, so the $LCM$ of $7$and $5$is $35$
$-3 \frac{2}{7}=-\frac{23}{7}=\frac{-23 \times 5}{7 \times 5}=\frac{-115}{35}. . . .[LCM (7, 5) = 35]$
$-3 \frac{4}{5}=\frac{-19}{5}=\frac{-19 \times 7}{5 \times 7}=\frac{-133}{35}$
$\because$$\frac{-115}{35}>\frac{-133}{35}$
$\therefore -3 \frac{2}{7}>-3 \frac{4}{5}$
Or
$-23\over 7$and$-19\over 5$
Cross multiplying the numerators we have
$-23 \times 5$ and $-19 \times 7$
$-115$ and $-133$
$-115 > -133$
$\therefore -3 \frac{2}{7}>-3 \frac{4}{5}$
$-3 \frac{2}{7}=-\frac{23}{7}=\frac{-23 \times 5}{7 \times 5}=\frac{-115}{35}. . . .[LCM (7, 5) = 35]$
$-3 \frac{4}{5}=\frac{-19}{5}=\frac{-19 \times 7}{5 \times 7}=\frac{-133}{35}$
$\because$$\frac{-115}{35}>\frac{-133}{35}$
$\therefore -3 \frac{2}{7}>-3 \frac{4}{5}$
Or
$-23\over 7$and$-19\over 5$
Cross multiplying the numerators we have
$-23 \times 5$ and $-19 \times 7$
$-115$ and $-133$
$-115 > -133$
$\therefore -3 \frac{2}{7}>-3 \frac{4}{5}$
Question 81 Mark
Which is greater in $\frac{-3}{4}, \frac{2}{-3}$
Answer
View full question & answer→To find the greater rational number we need to have a common denominator, so the $LCM$ of $4$ and $3$ is $12.$
Therefore,$\frac{-3}{4}=\frac{-3 \times 3}{4 \times 3}=\frac{-9}{12}$
$\frac{2}{-3}=\frac{2 \times 4}{-3 \times 4}=\frac{8}{-12}=\frac{-8}{12}. . . [LCM (4,3) = 12]$
$\because$$\frac{-8}{12}>\frac{-9}{12}$
$\therefore$ $\frac{2}{-3}>\frac{-3}{4}$
Therefore,$\frac{-3}{4}=\frac{-3 \times 3}{4 \times 3}=\frac{-9}{12}$
$\frac{2}{-3}=\frac{2 \times 4}{-3 \times 4}=\frac{8}{-12}=\frac{-8}{12}. . . [LCM (4,3) = 12]$
$\because$$\frac{-8}{12}>\frac{-9}{12}$
$\therefore$ $\frac{2}{-3}>\frac{-3}{4}$
