Question 15 Marks
Arrange the following rational numbers in descending order: $\frac{-5}{6},\frac{-7}{12},\frac{-13}{18},\frac{23}{-24}$
AnswerAmong $\frac{-5}{6},\frac{-7}{12},\frac{-13}{18},\frac{23}{-24}$
Making their denominator of $\frac{23}{-24}$ as positive, then $\frac{-5}{6},\frac{-7}{12},\frac{-13}{18},\frac{-23}{24}$
Now, $LCM$ of $6, 12, 18, 24 = 72$
$\therefore\frac{-5}{6}=\frac{-5\times12}{6\times12}=\frac{-60}{72}$
$\frac{-7}{12}=\frac{-7\times6}{12\times6}=\frac{-42}{72}$
$\frac{-13}{18}=\frac{-13\times4}{18\times4}=\frac{-52}{72}$
$\frac{-23}{24}=\frac{-23\times3}{24\times3}=\frac{-69}{72}$
Now, writing them in descending order,
We get,$\frac{-42}{72}>\frac{-52}{72}>\frac{-60}{72}>\frac{-69}{72}$
Or $\frac{-7}{12}>\frac{-13}{18}>\frac{-5}{6}>\frac{-23}{24}$
$\frac{-7}{12}>\frac{-13}{18}>\frac{-5}{6}>\frac{23}{-24}$

Arrange the following rational numbers in descending order: $-2,\frac{-13}{6},\frac{8}{-3},\frac{1}{3}$
AnswerAmong $-2,\frac{-13}{6},\frac{8}{-3},\frac{1}{3}$
Making their denominator of $\frac{8}{-3}$ as $LCM of 1, 6, 3, 3 = 6$
$\therefore\frac{-2}{1}=\frac{-2\times6}{1\times6}=\frac{-12}{6}$
$\frac{-13}{6}=\frac{-13\times1}{6\times1}=\frac{-13}{6}$
$\frac{-8}{3}=\frac{-8\times2}{3\times2}=\frac{-16}{6}$
$\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1\times2}{3\times2}=\frac{2}{6}$
Writing them in descending orders,
We get,$\frac{2}{6}>\frac{-12}{6}>\frac{-13}{6}>\frac{-16}{6}$
Or $\frac{1}{3}>-2>\frac{-13}{6}>\frac{-8}{3}$
$\frac{1}{3}>-2>\frac{-13}{6}>\frac{8}{-3}$

Arrange the following rational numbers in ascending order: $\frac{-3}{4},\frac{5}{-12},\frac{-7}{16},\frac{9}{-24}$
AnswerAmong $\frac{-3}{4},\frac{5}{-12},\frac{-7}{16},\frac{9}{-24}$ making their denominator positive,
We get $\frac{-3}{4},\frac{5}{-12},\frac{-7}{16},\frac{9}{-24}$
$LCM$ of $4, 12, 16$ and $24 = 48$
$\therefore\frac{-3}{4}=\frac{-3\times12}{4\times12}=\frac{-36}{48}$
$\frac{-5}{12}=\frac{-5\times4}{12\times4}=\frac{-20}{48}$
$\frac{-7}{16}=\frac{-7\times3}{16\times3}=\frac{-21}{48}$
$\frac{-9}{24}=\frac{-9\times2}{24\times2}=\frac{-18}{48}$
Now, writing them in ascending orders,$\frac{-36}{48}<\frac{-21}{48}<\frac{-20}{48}<\frac{-18}{48}$
Or $\frac{-3}{4}<\frac{-7}{16}<\frac{-5}{12}<\frac{-9}{24}$

AnswerFirst rational number between $\frac{2}{3}$ and $\frac{3}{4}$
$=\frac{1}{2}\Big[\frac{2}{3}+\frac{3}{4}\Big]$
$=\frac{1}{2}\Big[\frac{8+9}{12}\Big]$
$=\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{17}{12}$
$=\frac{17}{24}$
$\therefore\frac{2}{3}<\frac{17}{24}<\frac{3}{4}$
Second rational number between $\frac{2}{3}$ and $\frac{17}{24}$

$=\frac{33}{48}$and third rational number between $\frac{17}{24}$ and $\frac{3}{4}$
$=\frac{1}{2}\Big[\frac{17}{24}+\frac{3}{4}\Big]$
$=\frac{1}{2}\Big[\frac{17+18}{24}\Big]$
$=\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{35}{24}$
$=\frac{35}{48}$
$\therefore\frac{2}{3}<\frac{33}{48}<\frac{17}{24}<\frac{35}{48}<\frac{3}{4}$
$\therefore$ Required three rational numbers $\frac{33}{48},\frac{17}{24},\frac{35}{48}$

Arrange the following rational numbers in ascending order: $\frac{-4}{7},\frac{-9}{14},\frac{13}{-28},\frac{-23}{42}$
AnswerAmong $\frac{-4}{7},\frac{-9}{14},\frac{13}{-28},\frac{-23}{42}$
making their denominator of $\frac{13}{-28}$ positive,
We get, $\frac{-4}{7},\frac{-9}{14},\frac{-13}{28},\frac{-23}{42}$
$LCM$ of $7, 14, 28$ and $42 = 84$
$\therefore\frac{-4}{7}=\frac{-4\times12}{7\times12}=\frac{-48}{84}$
$\frac{-9}{14}=\frac{-9\times6}{14\times6}=\frac{-54}{84}$
$\frac{-13}{28}=\frac{-13\times3}{28\times3}=\frac{-39}{84}$
$\frac{-23}{42}=\frac{-23\times2}{42\times2}=\frac{-46}{84}$
Now writing them in ascending orders,
We get,$\frac{-54}{84}<\frac{-48}{84}<\frac{-46}{84}<\frac{-39}{84}$
Or $\frac{-9}{14}<\frac{-4}{7}<\frac{-23}{42}<\frac{-13}{28}$
$\frac{-9}{14}<\frac{-4}{7}<\frac{-23}{42}<\frac{13}{-28}$

$=\frac{-35-22}{55}+\frac{-13}{22}$
$=\frac{-57}{55}+\frac{-13}{22}$
$=\frac{-114-65}{110}$
$=\frac{-179}{110}$
$\text{R.H.S. }=\frac{-7}{11}+\Big(\frac{2}{-5}+\frac{-13}{22}\Big)$
$=\frac{-7}{11}+\Big(\frac{-2}{5}+\frac{-13}{22}\Big)$
$=\frac{-7}{11}+\frac{-44+(-65)}{110}$
$=\frac{-7}{11}+\frac{-44-65}{110}$
$=\frac{-7}{11}+\frac{(-109)}{110}$
$=\frac{-70+(-109)}{110}$
$=\frac{-70-109}{110}$
$=\frac{-179}{110}$
$\text{L.H.S. }=\text{R.H.S. }$

AnswerAmong $\frac{4}{-9},\frac{-5}{12},\frac{7}{-18},\frac{-2}{3}$
making their denominator positive, We get,
$\frac{4}{-9},\frac{-5}{12},\frac{7}{-18},\frac{-2}{3}$
$LCM$ of $9, 12, 18$ and $3 = 36$
$\therefore\frac{-4}{9}=\frac{4\times4}{9\times4}=\frac{-16}{36}$
$\frac{-5}{12}=\frac{-5\times3}{12\times3}=\frac{-15}{36}$
$\frac{-7}{18}=\frac{-7\times2}{18\times2}=\frac{-14}{36}$
$\frac{-2}{3}=\frac{-2\times12}{3\times12}=\frac{-24}{36}$

AnswerAmong $\frac{-3}{10},\frac{7}{-15},\frac{-11}{20},\frac{17}{-30}$
Making their denominator of $\frac{7}{-15}$ and $\frac{17}{-30}$,
as positive then $\frac{-3}{10},\frac{-7}{15},\frac{-11}{20},\frac{-17}{30}$
Now, $LCM$ of $10, 15, 20, 30 = 60$
$\therefore\frac{-3}{10}=\frac{-3\times6}{10\times6}=\frac{-18}{60}$
$\frac{-7}{15}=\frac{-7\times4}{15\times4}=\frac{-28}{60}$
$\frac{-11}{20}=\frac{-11\times3}{20\times3}=\frac{-33}{60}$
$\frac{-17}{30}=\frac{-17\times2}{30\times2}=\frac{-34}{60}$
Now, writing them in descending orders,
We get,$\frac{18}{60}>\frac{-28}{60}>\frac{-33}{60}>\frac{-34}{60}$
Or $\frac{-3}{10}>\frac{-7}{15}>\frac{-11}{20}>\frac{-17}{30}$

Amit earns $Rs. 32000$ per month. He spends $\frac{1}{4}$ of his income of food; $\frac{3}{10}$ of the remainder on house rent and $\frac{5}{21}$ of the remainder on the education of children. How much money is still left with him$?$
AnswerTotal amount eamed by Amit $= Rs. 32000$
Amount spent on food $=\frac{1}{4}$ of $Rs. 32000$
$=\frac{1}{4}\times\text{Rs.}\ 32000-\text{Rs.}\ 8000$
Balance $= Rs. 32000 - Rs. 8000$
$= Rs. 24000$
Amount spent on house rent $=\frac{3}{10}$ of $Rs. 24000$
$=\frac{3}{10}\times\text{Rs.}\ 24000$
$=3\times\text{Rs.}\ 2400$
$=\text{Rs.}\ 7200$
Amount left $= Rs. 24000 - Rs. 37200$
$= Rs. 16800$
Amount spent on education of children $=\frac{5}{21}$ of $Rs. 16800$
$=\frac{5}{21}\times\text{Rs.}\ 16800$
$=\text{Rs.}\ 5\times800$
$=\text{Rs.}\ 4000$
Amount left $= Rs. 16800 - Rs. 4000$

AnswerAmong $\frac{-10}{11},\frac{-19}{22},\frac{-23}{33},\frac{-39}{44}$
Now, $LCM$ of $11, 22, 33, 44 = 132$
$\therefore\frac{-10}{11}=\frac{-10\times12}{11\times12}=\frac{-120}{132}$
$\frac{-19}{22}=\frac{-19\times6}{22\times6}=\frac{-114}{132}$

Divide the sum of $\frac{13}{5}$ and $\frac{-12}{7}$ by the product of $\frac{-31}{7}$ and $\frac{1}{-2}$.
AnswerSum of $\frac{13}{5}$ and $\frac{-12}{7}$
$=\frac{13}{5}+\frac{-12}{7}$
$=\frac{91+(-60)}{35}$
$=\frac{91-60}{35}$

Now, product of $\frac{-31}{7}$ and $\frac{1}{-2}$
$=\frac{-31}{7}\times\frac{1}{-2}$
$=\frac{-31}{-14}=\frac{31}{14}$
$\therefore\frac{-31}{-14}\div\frac{31}{14}$
$=\frac{31}{35}\times\frac{14}{31}$
$=\frac{14}{35}$
$=\frac{14\div7}{35\div7}$

On one day a rickshaw puller earned $Rs. 160.$ Out of his earnings he spent $\text{Rs. }26\frac{3}{5}$ on tea and snacks, $\text{Rs. }50\frac{1}{2}$ on food and $\text{Rs. }16\frac{2}{5}$ on repairs of the rickshaw. How much did he save on that day?
AnswerTotal earnings $=\text{Rs. }160$
Spent on tea and snacks $=\text{Rs. }26\frac{3}{5}$
$=\text{Rs. }\frac{133}{5}$
Spent on food $=\text{Rs. }50\frac{1}{2}$
$=\text{Rs. }\frac{101}{2}$
Spent on repair of rickshaw $=\text{Rs. }16\frac{2}{5}$
$=\text{Rs. }\frac{82}{5}$
Total amount spent $=\text{Rs.}\ \frac{133}{5}+\frac{101}{2}+\frac{82}{5}$
$=\frac{266+505+164}{10}$
$=\text{Rs. }\frac{935}{10}$
$\therefore$ Savings $=\text{Rs. }160-\frac{935}{10}$
$=\frac{1600-935}{10}$
$=\frac{665}{10}$
$=\frac{665\div5}{10\div5}$
$=\frac{133}{2}$
