Step-by-step explanation:
The numbers that are in the form of pq, where p and q are integers and q ≠0, are called rational numbers.
For example:
Five positive rational numbers:
57,−3−4,78,−14−15,59
Five negative rational numbers:
−37,−38,8−9,−1925,8−25
Yes, there is a rational number that is neither positive nor negative, i.e. zero (0).
Answer:
a) I order to get 6 in the numerator we need to multiply -3 with the numerator.
=> -2 × -3 = 6
Now we also have to multiply the denominator by -3 in order to protect the meaning of the question
=> 5 × -3 = -15
(because if we only multiply -3 in numerator the question becomes a different one)
So the rational number with numerator as 6 is -6/15
