Question

Rewrite the following rational numbers in the simplest form:
(i) $\frac{-8}{6}$ (ii) $\frac{25}{45}$ (iii) $\frac{-44}{72}$ (iv) $\frac{-8}{10}$

Answer 1

(i)$\frac{-8}{6}$
= $\frac{-4\times2}{3\times 2}$
= $-\frac{4}{3}$

---

(ii)$\frac{25}{45}$
= $\frac{5\times5}{0\times5}$
= $\frac{5}{9}$

---

(iii)-$\frac{-44}{72}$
$\frac{-11\times 4}{18\times 4}$
$\frac{-11}{18}$

---

(iv)$\frac{-8}{10}$
= -$\frac{-4\times 2}{5\times2}$
=$\frac{-4}{5}$
