A rational number equal to $\frac{-2}{3}$ is:
  • A
    $\frac{-10}{25}$
  • $\frac{10}{-15}$
  • C
    $\frac{-9}{6}$
  • D
    None of these.
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\frac{10}{-15}$
We know that two rational numbers are equal if they have the same standard form.
The rational number $\frac{-2}{3}$ is in its standard form.
Consider the rational number $\frac{10}{-15}$
This rational numbner can be expressed in standerd form as follows:
$\frac{10}{-15}=\frac{10\times(-1)}{-15\times(-1)}=\frac{-10}{15}$ (Multiplying numerator and denominator by $-1$ to make denominator positive)
$HCF$ of $10$ and $15 = 5$
Dividing the numeator and denominator of $\frac{-10}{15}$ by $5,$
We have:
$\frac{-10}{15}=\frac{-10\div5}{15\div5}=\frac{-2}{3}$
Thus, the standard form of $\frac{-10}{15}$ is $\frac{-2}{3},$ which is same as the given rational number.
So, the rational number equal to $\frac{-2}{3}$ is $\frac{-10}{15}$
Let us check why options (a) and $(c)$ are not correct.
The standard form of $\frac{-10}{25}\text{ is }\frac{-2}{5}$
$HCF$ of $10$ and $25 = 5$
Dividing the numerator and denominator of $=\frac{-10}{25}$ by $5,$
We have:
$\frac{-10}{25}=\frac{-10\div5}{25\div5}=\frac{-2}{5}$
The standard form of $\frac{-9}{6}\text{ is }\frac{-3}{2}$
$HCF$ of 6 and $9 = 3$
Dividing the numerator and denominator of $\frac{-9}{3}$by $3,$
We have:
$\frac{-9}{6}=\frac{-9\div3}{6\div2}=\frac{-3}{2}$
Hence, the correct answer is option $(b)$

  • D
    None of these.
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\frac{3}{7}\text{ and }\frac{-5}{12}$

The rational numbers $\frac{3}{7}\text{ and }\frac{5}{12}$ are positive rational numbers. We know that every positive rational number is greater than $0$, so both the rational numbers $\frac{3}{7}\text{ and }\frac{5}{12}$ are represented by points on the right of the zero on the number line.
The rational numbers $-\frac{3}{7}\text{ and }\frac{-5}{12}$ are negative rational numbers. We know that every negative rational number is less than $0$, so both the rational numbers $\frac{3}{7}\text{ and }\frac{5}{12}$ are represented by points on the left of the zero on the number line.
The rational numbers $\frac{3}{7}$ is a positive rational number whereas the rational number $\frac{-5}{12}$ is a negative rational numbers. We know that every negative rational number is less than $0$ and every positive rational number is greater than $0$, so the rational number $\frac{3}{7}$ is represented by point on the right of the zero and $\frac{-5}{12}$ is represented by point on the left of the zero on the number line.
Thus, the rational numbers $-\frac{3}{7}\text{ and }\frac{-5}{12}$ are on the opposite side of the zero on the number line.

    $\frac{14}{-18}$
  • $\frac{-6}{9}$
  • C
    $\frac{-8}{-12}$
  • D
    $\frac{3}{-2}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\frac{-6}{9}$

We know that two rational numbers are equal if they have the same standard form.
$\frac{2}{-3}=\frac{2\times(-1)}{-3\times(-1)}=\frac{-2}{3}$
The standard form of $\frac{2}{-3}\text{ is }\frac{-2}{3}$
Consider the rational number $\frac{-6}{9}$
$HCF$ of $6$ and $9 = 3$
Dividing the numerator and denominator of $\frac{-6}{9}$ by $3,$
We have:
$\frac{-6}{9}=\frac{-6\div3}{9\div3}=\frac{-2}{3}$
So, the rational number $\frac{-6}{9}$ is equal to $\frac{2}{-3}$
It can be checked that:
Standard form of $\frac{14}{-18}=\frac{-7}{9}$
Standard form of $\frac{3}{-2}=\frac{-3}{2}$
Hence, the correct answer is option $(b).$

Which of the following is correct?
  • $\frac{5}{9}>\frac{-3}{8}$

    $\frac{5}{9}<\frac{-3}{-8}$
  • C
    $\frac{2}{-3}<\frac{-8}{7}$
  • D
    $\frac{4}{-3}>\frac{-8}{7}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\frac{5}{9}>\frac{-3}{8}$

Consider the rational numbers $\frac{5}{9}\text{ and } \frac{-3}{-8}$
We write the rational number $\frac{-3}{-8}$ with positive denominator.
$\frac{-3}{-8}=\frac{-3\times(-1)}{-8\times(-1)}=\frac{3}{8}$
Now, we write the rational numbers so that they have a common denominator.
$LCM$ of $8$ and $9 = 72$
So, $\frac{5}{9}=\frac{5\times8}{9\times8}=\frac{40}{72}$ and $\frac{3}{8}=\frac{3\times9}{8\times9}=\frac{27}{72}$
Now,
$40>27$
$\Rightarrow\frac{40}{72}>\frac{27}{72}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{5}{9}>\frac{3}{8}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{5}{9}>\frac{-3}{-8}$
Hence the correct option is $(a).$

Answer
Correct option: B.
$\frac{-19}{12}$
The correct option is $(b).$
Let the number that is to be subtracted be $x.$
$\frac{-3}{4}-\text{x}=\frac{5}{6}$
$\Rightarrow-\text{x}=\frac{5}{6}-\Big(\frac{-3}{4}\Big)$
$\Rightarrow-\text{x}=\frac{5}{6}+\frac{-3}{4}$
$\Rightarrow-\text{x}=\frac{(5\times2)+(3\times3)}{12}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=-\frac{19}{12}$
Hence, $\frac{-19}{12}$ should be subtracted from $\frac{-3}{4}$ to get $\frac{5}{6}$
