Answer:


Question 5: The points P, Q, R, S, T, U, A and B on the number line are such that, TR = RS = SU and AP = PQ = QB. Name the rational numbers represented by P, Q, R and S.

Answer:
The distance between A and B = 1 unit
= AP = PQ = QB = 1/3
= P = 2 + (1/3)
= (6 + 1)/ 3
= 7/3
Q = 2 + (2/3)
= (6 + 2)/ 3

The distance between U and T = 1 unit
= TR = RS = SU = 1/3
R = -1 - (1/3)
= (- 3 - 1)/ 3
= -4/3
S = -1 - (2/3)
= – 3 - 2)/ 3
= -5/3

Question 6: Which of the following pairs represent the same rational number?
(i) (-7/21) and (3/9)
Answer:

= -7/21 = 3/9

Therefore, -16/20 = 20/-25
So, the given pair is represents the same rational number.

(iii) (-2/-3) and (2/3)
Answer:

= -2/-3 = 2/3
= 2/3= 2/3
Since, 2/3 = 2/3
Therefore, -2/-3 = 2/3
So, the given pair is represents the same rational number.

(iv) (-3/5) and (-12/20)
Answer:

= -3/5 = – 12/20
= -3/5 = -3/5
Since, -3/5 = -3/5
Therefore, -3/5= -12/20
So, the given pair is represents the same rational number.

(v) (8/-5) and (-24/15)

(i) -5/7 [ ] 2/3
Answer:

LCM of 3, 7 = 21
= -5/7 = -5 × 3/7 × 3 = -15/21
= 2/3 = 2 × 7/3 × 7 = 14/21
-15 < 14
So, -15/21 < 14/21
Therefore, -5/7 [<] 2/3

(ii) -4/5 [ ] -5/7
Answer:

LCM of 5, 7 = 35
= -4/5 = -4 × 7/5 × 7 = -28/35
= -5/7 = -5 × 5/7 × 5 = -25/35
-28 < -25
So, -28/35 < - 25/35
Therefore, -4/5 [<] -5/7

(iii) -7/8 [ ] 14/-16
Answer:

= 7/-8
So, -7/8 = -7/8
Therefore, -7/8 [=] 14/-16

(iv) -8/5 [ ] -7/4
Answer:

LCM of 4, 5 = 20
= -8/5 = -8 × 4/5 × 4 = -32/20
= -7/4 = -7 × 5/4 × 5 = -35/20
-32 > – 35
So, -32/20 > -35/20
Therefore, -8/5 [>] -7/4

(v) 1/-3 [ ] -1/4
Answer:

LCM of 3, 4 = 12
= -1/3 = -1 × 4/3 × 4 = -4/12

Answer:

LCM of 2, 3 = 6
= 2/3 = 2 × 2/3 × 2 = 4/6
= 5/2 = 5 × 3/2 × 3 = 15/6
4 < 15
So, 4/6 < 15/6
= 2/3 < 5/2
Therefore, 5/2 is greater.

(ii) -5/6, -4/3
Answer:

LCM of 3, 6 = 6
= -5/6 = -5 × 1/6 × 1 = -5/6
= -4/3 = -4 × 2/3 × 2 = -12/6
-5 > -12
So, -5/6 > -12/6
So, -5/6 > -12/6
Therefore, -5/6 is greater.

(iii) -3/4, 2/-3
Answer:

LCM of 3, 4 = 12
= -3/4 = -3 × 3/4 × 3 = -9/12
= -2/3 = -2 × 4/3 × 4 = -8/12
-9 < -8
So, (-9/12) < (- 8/12)
So, -3/4 < 2/-3
Therefore, 2/-3 is greater.

(iv) -1/4, 1/4
Answer:

So, -1/4 < 1/4
Therefore, 1/4 is greater.

(v) -3 2/7, -3 4/5
Answer:

-3 2/7 = -23/7
-3 4/5 = -19/5
LCM of 5, 7 = 35
= -23/7 = -23 × 5/7 × 5 = -115/35
= -19/5 = -19 × 7/5 × 7 = (133/35
-115 > -133
So, -115/35 > - 133/35
= -3 2/7 > -3 4/5
Therefore, -3 2/7 is greater.

Question 10: Write the following rational numbers in ascending order:
(i) -3/5, -2/5, -1/5
Answer:

= -3/5 < -2/5 < -1/5

(ii) -1/3, -2/9, -4/3
Answer:

LCM of 3, 3, 9 = 9
= -1/3 = -1 × 3/3 × 9 = -3/9
= -2/9 = -2 × 1/9 × 1 = -2/9
= -4/3 = -4 × 3/3 × 3 = -12/9
= -12/9 < -3/9 < -2/9
= -4/3 < -1/3 < -2/9

(iii) -3/7, -3/2, -3/4
Answer:

LCM of 2, 4, 7 = 28
= -3/7 = -3 × 4/7 × 4 = -12/28
= -3/2 = -3 × 14/2 × 14 = -42/28
= -3/4 = -3 × 7/4 × 7 = -21/28
= -42/28 < -21/28 < -12/28
