express 2/5 as a rational number with numerator (i) -56 (ii) 500 (iii)-7000
1) Given fraction is 2/5
if numerator is -56
-56/2 = -28 that is numerator is multiple by -28 and we must multiply by -28 in to denominator.
( 2 * -28)/ (5 * -28 ) = -56/-140
2)
if numerator is 500
500/2 = 250 that is numerator is multiple by 250 and we must multiply by 250 in to denominator.
( 2 * 250)/ (5 * 250 ) = 500/1250
3)
if numerator is -7000
-7000/2 = -3500 that is numerator is multiple by -3500 and we must multiply by -3500 in to denominator.
( 2 * -3500)/ (5 * -3500) = -7000/-17500
Hope this helps you
Thanks and cheers!!!!!
