Question 1. Find the value of the following:

(i) – 3 / 7 ÷ 4

(ii) 4(5/8) ÷ (- 4 / 9)

(iii) – 8 / 9 ÷ – 3 / 5

Answer :

(i) – 3 / 7 ÷ 4

= – 3 / 7 × 1 / 4

= – 3 / 28

Hence, the value of – 3 / 7 ÷ 4 = – 3 / 28.

(ii) 4(5/8) ÷ (- 4 / 9)

This can be written as,

= 37 / 8 ÷ (- 4 / 9)

= 37 / 8 × 9 / – 4

We get,

= 333 / – 32

= {333 × (- 1)} / {- 32 × (- 1)}

= – 333 / 32

= -10(13/32)

(iii) – 8 / 9 ÷ – 3 / 5

= – 8 / 9 × 5 / – 3

= – 40 / – 27

= {- 40 × (- 1)} / {- 27 × (- 1)}

= 40 / 27

= 1(13/27)

Question 2. State whether the following statements are true or false:

(i) – 9 / 13 ÷ 2 / 7 is a rational number.

(ii) – 3 / 4 ÷ (5 / 9 ÷ – 4 / 11) = (- 3 / 4 ÷ 5 / 9) ÷ – 4 / 11

(iii) 13 / 14 ÷ – 5 / 7 ≠ – 5 / 7 ÷ 13 / 14

(iv) (- 7 ÷ 4 / 5) ÷ – 9 / 10 ≠ – 7 ÷ (4 / 5 ÷ – 9 / 10)

Answer :

(i)​ True

(ii) False

(iii) False

(iv) True

Question 3. The product of two rational numbers is – 11 / 12. If one of them is 2(4/9), find the other.

Answer :

Product of two rational numbers = – 11 / 12

One of the numbers =

2(4/9) = 22 / 9

The other number is calculated as given below

– 11 / 12 ÷ 22 / 9

= – 11 / 12 × 9 / 22

= – 3 / 8

Hence, the other number is – 3 / 8.

Question 4. By what rational number should – 7 / 12 be multiplied to get the product as 5 / 14?

Answer :

Product = 5 / 14

The required number can be calculated as given below

5 / 14 ÷ – 7 / 12

= 5 / 14 × 12 / – 7

We get,

= 30 / – 49

= {30 × (- 1)} / {- 49 × (- 1)}

= – 30 / 49

Therefore, the required number is – 30 / 49

Question 5. By what rational number should -3 is divided to get -9/13?

Answer :

The required number can be calculated as follows:

– 3 ÷ – 9 / 13

= – 3 × 13 / – 9

= – 13 / – 3

= {- 13 × (- 1)} / {- 3 × (- 1)}

= 13 / 3

= 4(1/3)

Question 6. Divide the sum of – 13 / 8 and 5 / 12 by their difference.

Answer  :

Sum of – 13 / 8 and 5 / 12 is calculated as,

= – 13 / 8 + 5 / 12

= (- 39 + 10) / 24

= – 29 / 24

The difference of – 13 / 8 and 5 / 12 is calculated as,

= – 13 / 8 – 5 / 12

= (- 39 – 10) / 24

= – 49 / 24

– 29 / 24 ÷ – 49 / 24

= – 29 / 24 × 24 / – 49

= – 29 / – 49

= {- 29 × (- 1)} / {- 49 × (- 1)}

= 29 / 49

Question 7. Divide the sum of 8 / 3 and 4 / 7 by the product of – 3 / 7 and 14 / 9.

Answer :

Sum of 8 / 3 and 4 / 7 is calculated as given below

8 / 3 + 4 / 7 = (56 + 12) / 21

= 68 / 21

Product of – 3 / 7 and 14 / 9 is calculated as follows:

– 3 / 7 × 14 / 9 = – 2 / 3

68 / 21 ÷ – 2 / 3 = 68 / 21 × 3 / – 2

= 34 / – 7

= {34 × (- 1)} / {- 7 × (- 1)}

= – 34 / 7

= -4(6/7)

Question 8. If p = – 3 / 2, q = 4 / 5 and r = – 7 / 12, then verify that (p ÷ q) ÷ r ≠ p ÷ (q ÷ r)

Answer :

p = – 3 / 2, q = 4 / 5 and r = – 7 / 12

(p ÷ q) ÷ r ≠ p ÷ (q ÷ r)

LHS = (p ÷ q) ÷ r

= (- 3 / 2 ÷ 4 / 5) ÷ (- 7 / 12)

= (- 3 / 2 × 5 / 4) ÷ (- 7 / 12)

= – 15 / 8 ÷ – 7 / 12

= – 15 / 8 × 12 / – 7

= – 45 / – 14

= {- 45 × (- 1)} / {- 14 × (- 1)}

= 45 / 14

RHS = p ÷ (q ÷ r)

= – 3 / 2 ÷ (4 / 5) ÷ (- 7 / 12)

= – 3 / 2 ÷ (4 / 5× 12 / – 7)

= – 3 / 2 ÷ 48 / – 35

= – 3 / 2 × – 35 / 48

= 35 / 32

Hence, LHS ≠ RHS
