Powered by AITo add 7/12 and -5/18, find a common denominator, which is 36. Convert the fractions: 7/12 = 21/36 and -5/18 = -10/36. Then add: 21/36 + (-10/36) = 11/36. The result of adding 7/12 and -5/18 is 11/36 .
A rational number is any number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction p/q of two integers, where the numerator p is an integer and the denominator q is a non-zero integer . For example, 2/3 is a rational number because both 2 and 3 are integers and 3 is not zero.
To compare -7/9 and 5/-6, first recognize that 5/-6 is equivalent to -5/6. Convert both fractions to have a common denominator. The common denominator of 9 and 6 is 18. Converting both: -7/9 = -14/18 and -5/6 = -15/18. Since -14/18 is greater than -15/18, -7/9 is greater than -5/6 .
The expression (3/5) ÷ (9/10) can be simplified by multiplying (3/5) by the reciprocal of (9/10), which is (10/9). Hence, (3/5) ÷ (9/10) equals (3/5) × (10/9) = 30/45. Simplifying 30/45 by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 15 gives 2/3 .
To simplify -48/60, divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 12. This gives (-48 ÷ 12) / (60 ÷ 12) = -4/5. The simplified form of -48/60 is -4/5 .
To subtract (-4/7) - (3/14), convert these fractions to a common denominator, which is 14. Convert the first fraction: -4/7 = -8/14. Then subtract: -8/14 - 3/14 = -11/14. The result of the subtraction is -11/14 .
Multiply (-3/11) by (22/-9) to get (-3 × 22) / (11 × -9) = -66/-99. Simplifying -66/-99 by their greatest common divisor, 33, gives 2/3. Thus, the product is 2/3 .
The recurring decimal 0.36I can be expressed as a rational number by setting x = 0.3666... and multiplying both sides by 10 to obtain 10x = 3.666.... Subtracting the original equation from this result gives 9x = 3.3, so x = 3.3/9, which simplifies to 1/3. Therefore, 0.36I = 1/3 as a rational number .
The statement 'Every integer is a rational number' is true. This is because a rational number can be expressed as p/q, where p is an integer and q is a non-zero integer. Any integer 'a' can be considered a rational number because it can be expressed as a/1, satisfying the conditions for rational numbers .
To find rational numbers between 1/4 and 1/2, you can convert these fractions to have a common denominator. 1/4 is equivalent to 2/8, and 1/2 is equivalent to 4/8. Rational numbers between these can include 3/8 and any number in the form like 5/16 when these fractions have been converted into higher equivalent fractions .
