List five rational numbers between:
-1 and 0
Explanation:
To find five rational numbers between -1 and 0, we can use the following method:
Determine the difference between the two numbers: -1- 0 = -1
Divide the difference by the number of rational numbers we want to find plus 1. In this case, we want to find 5 rational numbers, so we divide -1 by 6:
-1÷6 = -0.1666666667
Add the result from Step 2 to the starting point (0), then continue to add this value to each
subsequent result to find the remaining numbers.
So the five rational numbers between -1 and 0 are:
-0.1666666667= -1/6
-0.3333333333= -1/3
-0.5= -1/2
-0.6666666667= -⅔
-0.8333333333-5/6
-2 and -1
Explanation:
To find five rational mumbers between -2 and -1, we can use the same method as before:
Determine the difference between the two numbers: -2-(-1)=-1
Divide the difference by the number of rational numbers we want to find plus L. In this case, we want to find 5 rational numbers, so we divide 1 by 6:
-1÷6= -0.1666666667
Add the result from Step 2 to the starting point (-2), then continue to add this value to each subsequent result to find the remaining numbers.
So the five rational numbers between 2 and -1 are:
-1.8333333333
-1.6666666667
-1.5
-1.3333333333
-1.1666666667
3. -4/5 and -2/3
Explanation:
To find five rational numbers between 4/5 and -2/3, we can use the same method as before:
Determine the difference between the two numbers: -2/3-(-4/5) = 2/15
Divide the difference by the number of rational numbers we want to find plus 1. In this case, we want to find 5 rational numbers, so we divide 2/15 by 6
2/15÷6=1/45
Add the result from Step 2 to the starting point (-4/5), then continue to add this value to each
subsequent result to find the remaining numbers.
So the five rational numbers between -4/5 and -2/3 are:
-0.8
-0.7666666667
-0.7333333333
-0.7
-0.6666666667
-1/2 and 2/3
Explanation:
To find five rational numbers between-1/2 and 2/3, we can use the same method as before:
Determine the difference between the two numbers: 2/3 - (-1/2) = 7/6
Divide the difference by the number of rational numbers we want to find plus 1. In this case, we want to find 5 rational numbers, so we divide 7/6 by 6:
7/6÷6=7/36
Add the result from Step 2 to the starting point (-1/2), then continue to add this value to each
subsequent result to find the remaining numbers.
So the five rational numbers between -1/2 and 2/3 are:
-0.5
-0.4166666667
-0.3333333333
-0.25
-0.1666666667
5.Write four more rational numbers in each of the following patterns:
-3/5, -6/10, -9/15, -12/20......
Explanation:
Let's simplify -3/5, -6/10, -9/15,-12/20…… to its non-divisive form.
-3/5
-6/10=-3/5
-9/15=-3/5
-12/20-3/5
Since, each term obtained is a multiple of -3/5 and factors are {1/1,2/2,3/3,4/4...)
Similarly, further numbers can be obtained by multiplying-3/5 from ( 5/5,6/6,7/7,8/8...)
Now next four terms are:
(-3/5)x(5/5)=(-15/25)
(-3/5) x(6/6)=(-18/30)
(-3/5)x(7/7)=(-21/35)
(-3/5)x(8/8)=(-24/40)
So these are the next four terms that can be derived by multiplying the numerator and denominator of -3/5 from 5,6,7 and 8.
6. -1/4, -2/8,-3/12, .....
Explanation:
Let's simplify -1/4, -2/8, -3/12 to its non-divisive form:
-1/4
-2/8=-1/4
-3/12--1/4
Since each term obtained is a multiple of -1/4 and factors are (1/1,2/2,3/3, 4/4,...), we can obtain further numbers by multiplying -1/4 with (5/5,6/6, 7/7,8/8...).
Now the next four terms are:
(-1/4) x (4/4)=-4/16
(-1/4) x (5/5)=-5/20
(-1/4) x (6/6)=-6/24
(-1/4) × (7/7)=-7/28
So these are the next four terms that can be derived by multiplying the numerator and denominator of-1/4 from 4,5,6,and 7.
7. -1/6, 2/-12, 3/-18,4/-24.....
Explanation:
Let's simplify the given terms to their non-divisive form:
-1/6
2/-12=-1/6
3/-18=-1/6
4/-24=-1/6
Since each term obtained is a multiple of -1/6 and factors are (1/1,2/2,3/3,4/4, ...), we can obtain further numbers by multiplying -1/6 with (5/5,6/6, 7/7,8/8..).
Now the next four terms are:
(-1/6) x (5/5)=-5/30
(-1/6) x (6/6)=-6/36
(-1/6) x (7/7)=-7/42
(-1/6) x (8/8)=-8/48
So these are the next four terms that can be derived by multiplying the numerator and denominator of-1/6 from 5,6,7 and 8.
8. -2/3, 2/-3, 4/-6, 6/-9.....
Explanation:
Let's simplify the given terms to their non-divisive form
-2/3
2/-3=-2/3
4/-6=-2/3
6/-9=-2/3
Since each term obtained is a multiple of -2/3 and factors are (1/1,2/2,3/3,4/4...), we can obtain further numbers by multiplying -2/3 with (4/4,5/5,6/6, 7/7...).
Now the next four terms are:
(-2/3)x(4/4)=-8/12
(-2/3)x(5/5)=-10/15
(-2/3)x(6/6)=-12/18
(-2/3)x(7/7)=-14/21
So these are the next four terms that can be derived by multiplying the numerator and denominator of-2/3 from 4,5,6 And 7
9. Give four rational numbers equivalent to:
-2/7
Explanation:
Next four terms can be obtained as a multiple of -2/7
Let's multiply-2/7 by (1/1,2/2, 3/3,4/4...)
(-2/7) × 2/2=-4/14
(-2/7) x 3/3=-6/21
(-2/7) x (4/4)=-8/28
(-2/7) x (5/5)=-10/35
Thus the number obtained are as follows:
-4/14,-6/21,8/-28,10/-35.
10. 5/-3
Explanation:
Next four rational numbers equivalent to 5/-3 can be obtained by multiplying it with (2/2,3/3,4/4, 5/5) or any other integer multiples of them.
So.
5/-3 x 2/2 =10/-6
5/-3 x 3/3=15/-9
5/-3x4/4=20/-12
5/-3x5/5=25/-15
Thus, four rational numbers equivalent to 5/-3 are 10/-6, 15/-9, 20/-12, 25/-15,
11.4/9
Explanation:
Next four terms can be obtained as a multiple of 4/9.
Let's multiply 4/9 by (2/2,3/3, 4/4.5/5...)
(4/9)x(2/2) =8/18
(4/9)x(3/3) =12/27
(4/9)x(4/4) = 16/36
(4/9)x(5/5) =20/45
Thus, the four rational numbers equivalent to 4/9 are 8/18, 12/27, 16/36, and 20/45.
12. Draw the number line and represent the following rational numbers on it:
3/4
Explanation:
> To represent the rational number 3/4 on a number line:
> We first need to divide the line segment between 0 and 1 into four equal parts.
>Then we can locate the point that corresponds to the number 3/4, which is three-fourths of the way from 0 to 1.
The point that represents 3/4 is located at a distance of 3/4 units from 0, and it is marked with an arrow
13. -5/8
Explanation:
To represent-5/8 on a number line, we need to follow the below steps:
> Draw a horizontal line and mark the point 0 on it.
> Decide on a suitable scale for the number line, for example, we can use 1 unit for each
division.
> To represent negative numbers, we need to mark the negative direction. For that, draw an arrow to the left of 0.
> Divide the line into & equal parts and mark cach division as 1/8, 2/8, 3/8….. 7/8.
>Since the number is negative, we need to move to the left from on the number line.
We start from 0 and move 5 units to the left (because the numerator is 5).
> The point where we end up is the representation of -5/8 on the number line.
The number line representation of -5/8 would look like this:
14. -7/4
Explanation:
To represent -7/4 on the number line:
> Draw a horizontal line to represent the number line.
> Mark a point as zero in the middle of the line.
> Divide the line into equal parts by drawing ticks on both sides of zero.
> Label the ticks as -1,-2,.-3,-4 on the left side and 1,2,3,4 on the right side.
>Locate -7/4 on the line by finding the point between -2 and -3 that is 3/4 of the way from -2 to -3
> To find this point, first mark -2 and -3 on the line.
> Then divide the distance between -2 and -3 into 4 equal parts.
> Count three of these parts from -2 towards -3 to get the point that represents -7/4.
> Label this point as -7/4 on the line.
The final representation of 7/4 on the number line is a point to the left of -2 but to the right of -3 closer -2.
15. 7/8
Explanation:
To represent 7/8 on a number line, we can follow these steps:
> Draw a horizontal line and mark a point at its center to represent zero.
> Draw an arrow to the right to represent positive numbers and another arrow to the left to
represent negative numbers.
> Divide the line into eight equal parts.
> Starting from the zero point, mark the seventh part towards the positive duection, i,e.,
towards the arrow pointing right.
> Label the point as ⅞.
16. Which of the following pairs represents the same rational number?
(-7/21) and (3/9)
Explanation:
To check if two fractions represent the same rational number, we can simplify them and then compare
> (-7/21) can be simplified to (-1/3) by dividing the numerator and denominator by 7.
> (39) can be simplified to (1/3) by dividing the numerator and denominator by 3.
Then,
-7/21=3/9
-1/3 =1/3
-1/3 ≠ 1/3
So, (-7/21) and (3/9) do not represent the same rational number since their simplified forms are different.

2/3, 5/2
Explanation:
To compare 2/3 and 5/2, we will convert them into like fractions by finding their LCM of the
denominators which is 6.
2/3 =4/6
5/2=15/6
Now, we can see that 15/6 is greater than 4/6. Therefore, 5/2 is greater than 2/3.
So, 5/2>2/3.
27. -5/6,-4/3
Explanation:
To compare -5/6 and -4/3, we will convert them into like fractions by finding their LCM of the denominators which is 6
-5/6=-5/6
Now by multiplying numerator and denominator of -4/3) by 2 we get.
-4/3=-8/6

Therefore. 5/6 is greater than 4/3
So, -5/6 > 4/3.
28. -3/4,2/-3
Explanation:
To compare -3/4 and 24-3, we will convert them into like fractions by finding their LCM of the denominators which is 12.
-3/4=9/12 (multiplying numerator and denominator by 3)
2/-3=-8/12 (multiplying numerator and denominator by 4 and changing the sign)
Now, we can see that -9/12 is less than -8/12. Therefore, 2-3 is greater than -3/4.
So, 2/-3>-3/4
29. -¼ and ¼
Explanation:
To compare -1/4 and 1/4, we can see that they have the same denominators, so it is already a like fractions. We can directly compare their numerators.
Since -1/4 is a negative fraction, it is less than 9, and 1/4 is a positive fraction, it is greater than 0.
Therefore, 1/4 is greater than -1/4.
So, 1/4>-1/4
30. -3(2/7)-3(4/5)
Explanation:
To compare -3(2/7) and -3(4/5), we can first simplify the mixed numbers by converting them into improper fractions.
-3(2/7)= -(37+2)/7=-23/7
-3(4/5)=-(35+4)/5=-19/5
Now we can see that the denominators are different, so we need to find a common denominator to compare them. The LCM of 7 and 5 is 35, so we can convert both fractions to have a denominator of 35.
-23/7=(-23/7) × (5/5)=-115/35
-19/5=(-19/5)x (7/7)=-133/35
Now we can see that -133/35 is less thin-115/35. Therefore, -3(4/5) is less than -3(2/7)
So.-3(2/7)>-3(4/5).
31. Write the following rational numbers in ascending order:
-3/5,-2/5,-1/5
Explanation:
To write-3/5, -2/5, and 1/5 in ascending order, we can use the fact that negative fractions are less than 0 and compare the absolute values of the fractions,
|-3/5|= 3/5
|-2/5|=2/5
|-1/5|=1/5
Now we can see that 1/5 <2/5<3/5. Since the fractions are negative, we need to reverse the order to get them in ascending order.
Therefore,-3/5<-2/5 <-1/5 is the ascending order of the given rational numbers.
32. -1/3,-2/9,-4/3
Explanation:
To write -1/3,-2/9, and -4/3 in ascending order, we can first convert them into like fractions by finding their LCM of the denominators which is 9.
-1/3=-3/9
-2/9=-2/9
-4/3=-12/9\
Now we can see that -12/9 is the least among the three fractions since it has the smallest numerator.
Therefore, we have:
-12/9 <-3/9 <-2/9
But we need to convert these fractions back to their original form, so we can simplify them:
-12/9=-4/3
-3/9= -1/3
-2/9=-2/9
Now we have the fractions in ascending order
4/3<-1/3<-2/9
Therefore, 4/3<-1/3<-2/9 is the ascending order of the given rational numbers.

-3/7=-12/28
-3/2=-42/28
-3/4=-21/28
Now we can see that -42/28 is the least among the three fractions since it has the smallest numerator. Therefore, we have:
-42/28<-21/28 <-12/28
But we need to convert these fractions back to their original form, so we can simplify them:
-42/28=-3/2
-21/28-3/4
-12/28=-3/7
Now we have the fractions in ascending order:
-3/2<-3/4<-3/7\

(5/4)+(-11/4)-(5/4)+(-114) x (1/1)=(5/4)+(-11/4) x (1/1) x (4/4) = (5/4)+(-44/16)
Add the numerators while keeping the common denominator
(5/4)+(-44/16) (5 x 44 x4)+(-44/16)=(2016)+(-44/16)
Simplify the resulting fraction by adding the minerators:
(20/16)+1-44/16)=(-24/16)
Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common
factor, which is 8:

Add the numerators while keeping the common denominator
(-27/30)+(44/30)=(44-27)/30
Simplify the resulting fraction by adding the numerators:
(44_27)/30=17/30
Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 1:
17/30
Therefore, (-9/10)+(22/15)=17/30.
37. (-3/-11)+(5/9)
Explanation:
Find the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators, which is 99,
Rewrite the fractions with a common denominator of 99:
3/11+5/9=3/11 x (9/9)+5/9x (11/11)=27/99 + 55/99
Add the numerators while keeping the common denominator:
27/99 +55/99 = (27 +55)/99
Simplify the resulting fraction by adding the numerators:
(27+55)/99=82/99
Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor which is 1:
82/99
Therefore, 3/11+5/9=82/99.
38. (-8/19)+(-2/57)
Explanation:
Find the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators, which is 57
Rewrite the fractions with a common denominator of 57:
(-8/19)+(-2/57) = (-8/19) x (3/3)+(-2/57) x (19/19)=(-24/57)+(-2/57)
Add the numerators while keeping the common denominator:
(-24/57)+(-2/57)=(-24-2)/57
Simplify the resulting fraction by adding the numerators:
(-24-2)/57=-26/57
Therefore, (-8/19)+(-2/57) = -26/57.
39.-2/3+0
Explanation:
To add -2/3 and 0, we can rewrite 0 as an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 3:
0= 0/3
-2/3+ 0/3=-2/3+0=-2/3
Therefore, 2/3+0=-2/3.
40. Find the value of:
7/24-17/36
Explanation:
To subtract these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 24 and 36 is 72.
Rewrite each fraction with a denominator of 72:
7/24=(7/24) x (3/3) x (2/2)=42/72
17/36=(17/36) x (2/2) x (2/3) = 34/72
Now we can subtract the fractions
7/24-17/36=42/72-34/72
Simplify by subtracting the numerators
=8/72
Reduce the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 8:
=1/9
Therefore, 7/24-17/36=1/9
41. 5/63-(-6/21)
Explanation:
We can rewrite -6/21 as-2/7
5/63-(-2/7)
To subtract fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 63 and 7 is 63.
Rewrite each fraction with a denominator of 63.
5/63=5/63 x 1=5/63
-2/7=-2/7 x 99=-18/63
Now we can subtract the fractions
5/63-(-27)=5/63+ 18/63
Simplify by adding the numerators
Therefore, 5/63-(-6/21)=23/63.
42. -6/13-(-7/15)
Explanation:
To subtract these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 13 and 15 is 195.
Rewrite each fraction with a denominator of 195:
-6/13= (-6/13) x (15/15) x (3/3)=-90/195
-7/15=(-7/15) x (13/13) x (3/3)=-91/195
Now we can subtract the fractions:
-6/13-(-7/15)=-90/195+91/195
-7/15=(-7/15)x(13/13)x(3x3)=-91/195
Now we can subtract the fractions:
-6/13-(-7/15)=-90/195+91/195
Simplify by adding the numerators:
=1/195
Therefore, 6/13-(-7/15) = 1/195

To subtract these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 8 and 11 is 88.
Rewrite each fraction with a denominator of 88:
-3/8=(-38) x (11/11) x (11/11)=-33/88
7/11 = (7/11) x (8/8) x (11/11) = 56/88
Now we can subtract the fractions
-3/8-7/11=-33/88 - 56/88
Simplify by subtracting the numerators:
=-89/88
Therefore, 3/8-7/11=-89/88.
44. (-211/9)-6
Explanation:
we need to first convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:
-2(7/9)=-(2 x9+1)/9=-19/9
Now we can rewrite the expression as
-19/9-6
To subtract fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 9 and 1 is 9.
Rewrite the second fraction with a denominator of 9:
6=6/1 x 9/9=54/9
Now we can subtract the fractions:
-19/9-54/9=-73/9
Therefore, -2(1/9)-6=-73/9,
45. Find the product:
(9/2)x(-7/4)
Explanation:
To find the product of (9/2) and (-7/4), we need to multiply the numerators together and the
denominators together.
(9/2)x(-7/4)=(9x-7)/(2x4)=-63/8
So the product of (9/2) and (-7/4) is-63/8
46. (3/10) x (-9)
Explanation:
For the problem (-6/5) x (9/11), we can multiply the numerators and denominators separately as follows:
(-65)x(9/11)=-6x9)/(5x11)
Simplifying the numerator, we get:
=-54/55
Therefore, the product of (-6/5) and (9/11) is-54/5S
47.(-6/5) x (9/11)
Explanation:
To find the product of ( 6/5) and (9/11), we multiply their numerators and denominators separately as follows:
(-6/5) x (9/11)=(-6x9)/(5x11)
Simplifying the numerator, we get:
=-54/55
Therefore, the product of (-6/5) und (9/11) is -54/55.
48.(3/7) x (-2/5)
Explanation:
To find the product of ( 6/5) and (9/11), we multiply their numerators and denominators separately as follows:
(-6/5) x (9/11)=(-6x9)/(5x11)
Simplifying the numerator, we get:
=-54/55
Therefore, the product of (-6/5) und (9/11) is -54/55.
49. (3/11) x (2/5)
Explanation:
For the problem (3/11) x (2/5), we can multiply the numerators and denominators separately as follows:
(3/11)x(2/5)=(3x2)/(11×5)
Simplifying the numerator, we get:
6/55
Therefore, the product of (3/11) and (2/5) is 6/55.
50. -⅗ x -5/3
Explanation:
For the problem (3-5)x(-5/3), we can multiply the numerators and denominators separately a
follows.
(3-5) x (-5/3)=(3x-5)/(-5×3)
Simplifying the numerator and denominator, we get.
-15/-15
Simplifying further by canceling out the common factor of -15 in the numerator and denominator,
we get:
Therefore, the product of (3-5) and (-5/3) is 1.
51. Find the value of:(-4)+(2/3)
Explanation:
To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal (flip the fraction upside down). So, we have:
(-4)-(2/3)=(-4)x(3/2)
Now, we can simplify by multiplying the numerator and denominator:
(4)x(3/2)=(-12/2)=-6
Therefore, (-4)+ (2/3) = -6.
52. (-4/5)+(-3)
Explanation:
To divide a fraction by a whole number, we can convert the whole number into a fraction by putting it over 1. So, we have:
(-4/5)+(-3/1)
Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal, so we can rewrite the above
expression as
(-4/5) x (-1/3)
To multiply two fractions, we multiply their numerators together and their denominators together. So we have:
((-4)x(-1))/((5)× (3))
Simplifying the numerator and denominator, we get:
4/15
Therefore, (-4/5)+(-3)=4/15.
53. (-1/8) + 3/4
Explanation:
To divide two fractions, we need to invert the second fraction and multiply it with the first fraction.
Therefore
(-1/8) + (3/4) = (-1/8) × (4/3)
Now we can multiply the numerators and denominatists separately:
(-1/8) x (4/3)=(-1x4)/(x3)
Simplifying the numerator, we get:
24
Reducing the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 4, we get:
-1/6
Therefore, (-1/8)+(34)=-1/6,
54. (3/13)+(-4/65)
Explanation:
To divide national numbers, we can multiply the first number by the reciprocal of the second number. Thus, we have:
(3/13)+(-4/65)=(3/13) x (-65/4)
Multiplying the numerators and denominators, we get:
=(3x-65)/(13x4)
Simplifying the numerator, we get:
=-195/52
We can reduce the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 13:
-15/4
Therefore, (-7/12)+(-2/13)=-154
