Question 1:

What are rational numbers? Give examples of five positive and five negative rational numbers. Is there any rational number which is neither positive nor negative? Name it.

Answer:

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).

(iv) -14-49
(v) 91-78
(vi) -68119
(vii) -87116
(viii) 299-161

Answer:

(i) 3549
H.C.F. of 35 and 49 is 7.

Dividing the numerator and the denominator by 7:

35÷749÷7=57
So, 3549 is equal to 57 in the standard form.

(ii)8-36
Denominator is -36, which is negative.
Multiplying both the numerator and the denominator by -1:

8×(-1)-36×(-1)=-836


H.C.F. of 8 and 36 is 4.
Dividing its numerator and denominator by 4:

-8÷436÷4=-29

So, 8-36 is equal to -29 in the standard form.

(iii) -2745


H.C.F. of 27 and 45 is 9.
Dividing its numerator and denominator by 9:
−27÷945÷9=−35
Hence, −2745 is equal to -35 in the standard form.

(iv) -14-49The denominator is negative. Multiplying its numerator and denominator by -1:-14×(-1)-49×(-1)=1449


H.C.F. of 14 and 49 is 7.
Dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 7.
14÷749÷7=27Hence, -14-49  is equal to 27 in the standard form. 

(v) 91-78The denominator is negative. Multiplying its denominator and denominator by -1:91×(-1)-78×(-1)=-9178


H.C.F. of 91 and 78 is 13.
Dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 13:
-91÷1378÷13=-76Hence, 91-78 is equal to -76 in the standard form. 

 (vi) -68119


H.C.F. of 68 and 119 is 17.
Dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 17:
-68÷17119÷17=-47Hence, -68119 is equal to -47 in the standard form. 

(vii) -87116


H.C.F. of 87 and 116 is 29.
Dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 29:
-87÷29116÷29=-34Hence, -87116 is equal to -34in the standard form. 

(viii) 299-161
The denominator is negative.
Multiplying both the numerator and denominator by -1:

299×(-1)-161×(-1) =-299161


H.C.F. of 299 and 161 is 23.
Dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 23:
-299÷23161÷23=-137Hence, 299-161 is equal to -137in the standard form.

Question 19:

Which of the following are pairs of equivalent rational numbers?

(i) -137,39-21
(ii) 3-8,-616
(iii) 94,-36-16
(iv) 715,-2860
(v) 312,-14
(vi) 23,32

Answer:

(i) −137,39−21
We have:
(−13)×(−21) = 273

And 7×39=273

(−13)×(−21) =7×39or −137=39−21Hence, −137 and 3921 are equivalent rational numbers.                 

(ii) 3-8, -616
We have:

3×16=48

And (−8) ×(−6) =48

∴ 3×16 =(−8)×(−6)
3-8 =-616

(iii)94, -36-16
 
We have:

9×(−16)= −144

And 4×(-36)= −144

 9×(−16) = 4×(−36)

94=-36-16
Therefore, they are equivalent rational numbers.

(iv)715, -2860 

We have:

7×60 =420
And 15×(-28)= −420

∴ 7×60 ≠15×(−28)
Therefore, the rational numbers are not equivalent.

(v) 312, -14

We have:
3 ×4=12
And 12×(−1)= −12
12 ≠ −12
Therefore, the rational numbers are not equivalent.

(vi) 23,32

We have:

2×2=4

And 3×3=9

2×2≠3×3

Therefore, the rational numbers are not equivalent.

(ii) 7-3=x6
(iii) 35=x-25
(iv) 136=-65x
(v) 16x=-4
(vi) -48x=2

Answer:

(i)−15=8x

=> −x =5×8
=> x= −40
 
(ii)7-3=x6
=> (−3)x=7×6

=> x=(7×6)(-3)
=>  x=−14
 
 
(iii) 35=x−25
=>    5x=3×(−25)

=>   x=3×(−25)5
=>x  = (−15)

(iv)136=−65x

=> 13x=6×(−65)

=>  x=6×(−65)13

=>  x= 6×(−​5)

=>  x = −​30

(v)16x=-4
    => x =16(−4)
     =>  x= (−4)

vi)−48x=2
=> −482=x1
=>2x=(-48)×1
=>x=-482
x= (−24)

Question 21:

Which of the following rational numbers are equal?

(i) 8-12and-1015
(ii) -39and7-21
(iii) -8-14and1521

Answer:

(i)8-12 and−1015


8×15 =120
And ( −10)×(−12)=120

8×15 =(−10) ×(−12)

∴ 8-12 =−1015

Therefore, the rational numbers are equal.

ii)−39, 7-21

(−3)×(−21) =63
And 7× 9=63

∴ (−3)×(−21) =7×9

−39= 7-21

Therefore, the rational numbers are equal.

(iii) −8-14,1521 


(−8) × 21 = −168
And 15 ×(−​14) = − ​210

(−8) × 21 ≠ 15 × 14

Therefore, the rational numbers are not equal.

(ii)True
All integers can be written with the denominator 1.  
(iii) False
Though 0 is an integer, when the denominator is 0, it is not a rational number.
For example, 10 is not a rational number. 
(iv)True
(v) False
−1 is a rational number but not a fraction.

Question 7:

Which of the following statements are true?

(i) -35 lies to the left of 0 on the number line.
(ii) -127 lies to the right of 0 on the number line.
(iii) 13 and -52 lie on opposite sides of 0 on the number line.
(iv) -18-13 lies to the left of 0 on the number line.
(v) -5-8 lies on the right of -57 on the number line.

Answer:

(i)True. This is because negative rational numbers lie to the left of 0 on the number line.(ii)False. This is because negative rational numbers do not lie to the right of 0.(iii)True. This is because positive rational numbers lie to the right, while negative rational numbers to the left of 0.(iv)False. This is because it is positive, which means it lies to the right of 0.(v)True. This is because a positive rational number lies to the right of a negative rational number.
