Explanation

A rational number between two numbers

$a$ and

$b = \dfrac {(a + b)}{2}$
So, a rational number between

$\dfrac {3}{8}$ and

$\dfrac {7}{12}$

$= \dfrac {\dfrac {3}{8} + \dfrac {7}{12}}{2} = \dfrac {23}{48}$

Now, another rational number between

$\dfrac {3}{8}$ and

$\dfrac {23}{48}$

$= \dfrac {\dfrac {3}{8} + \dfrac {23}{48}}{2} = \dfrac {41}{96}$

Hence, required two rational numbers between

$\dfrac {3}{8}$ and

$\dfrac {7}{12}$ are

$\dfrac {3}{8} ,\dfrac {41}{96}, \dfrac {23}{48}, \dfrac {7}{12}$

Explanation

A rational number between two numbers

$a$ and

$b = \dfrac {(a + b)}{2}$

So,

a rational number between

$- \dfrac {3}{4}$ and

$\dfrac {1}{2}$

$= \dfrac {-\dfrac {3}{4} + \dfrac {1}{2}}{2} = - \dfrac {1}{8}$

Now,

another rational number between

$- \dfrac {3}{4}$ and

$- \dfrac {1}{8}$

$=\dfrac {- \dfrac {3}{4} - \dfrac {1}{8}}{2} = - \dfrac {7}{16}$

Another rational number between

$- \dfrac {1}{8}$ and

$\dfrac {1}{2} =$

$\dfrac { - \dfrac {1}{8} + \dfrac {1}{2}} {2} = \dfrac {3}{16}$

Hence, required three rational numbers between

$- \dfrac {3}{4}$ and

$\dfrac {1}{2}$ are

$- \dfrac {3}{4}, - \dfrac {7}{16}, - \dfrac {1}{8}, \dfrac {3}{16}, \dfrac {1}{2}$

The five rational numbers between

$\dfrac{3}{5}$ and

$\dfrac{4}{5}$ are

$\displaystyle \frac{19}{30},\frac{20}{30},\frac{21}{30},\frac{22}{30},\frac{23}{30}$ .

0%
True
0%
False

Explanation

Since we want five numbers we write

$\dfrac{3}{5}$ and

$\dfrac{4}{5}$
So multiply in numerator and denominator by

$5+1 = 6$ we get

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{5}=\dfrac{3\times 6}{5\times 6}=\dfrac{18}{30}$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{4}{5}=\dfrac{4\times 6}{5\times 6}=\dfrac{24}{30}$

We know that

$18<19<20<21<22<23<24$

$\Rightarrow \displaystyle \frac{18}{30}<\frac{19}{30}<\frac{20}{30}<\frac{21}{30}<\frac{22}{30}<\frac{23}{30}<\frac{24}{30}$

Hence 5 rational number between

Explanation

A

rational number between two numbers

$a$ and

$b = \frac {(a + b)}{2}$

So, a

rational number between

$\frac {1}{3}$ and

$\frac {1}{4} = \frac {(\frac {1}{3} + \frac {1}{4})}{2} = \frac {7}{24}$

Now, another rational number between

$\frac {7}{24}$ and

$\frac {1}{4} = \frac {(\frac {7}{24} + \frac {1}{4})}{2} = \frac {13}{48}$

Hence, required two rational numbers between

$\frac {1}{3}$ and

$\frac {1}{4}$ are

$\frac {1}{3} ,\frac {7}{24}, \frac {13}{48}, \frac {1}{4}$

0%
$\displaystyle\frac{-8}{6},\,\displaystyle\frac{-7}{6},\,\displaystyle\frac{0}{6},\,\displaystyle\frac{1}{6}$ and $\displaystyle\frac{2}{6}$

Explanation

Converting the given rational numbers with the same denominators

$\cfrac{-3}{2}=\cfrac{-3\times3}{2\times3}=\cfrac{-9}{6}$ and

$\cfrac{5}{3}=\cfrac{5\times2}{3\times2}=\cfrac{10}{6}$

We know that

$-9\,<\,-8\,<\,-7\,<\,-6\,<\,\dots\,<\,0\,<\,1\,<\,2\,<\,8\,<\,9\,<\,10$

$\Rightarrow\cfrac{-9}{6}\,<\,\cfrac{-8}{6}\,<\,\cfrac{-7}{6}\,<\,\cfrac{-6}{6}\,<\,\dots\,<\,\cfrac{0}{6}\,<\,\cfrac{1}{6}\,<\,\cfrac{2}{6}\,<\,\dots\,<\,\cfrac{8}{6}\,<\,\cfrac{9}{6}\,<\,\cfrac{10}{6}$ .

0%
The reciprocals $1$ and $-1$ are themselves
0%
Zero has no reciprocal
0%
The product of two rational numbers is a rational number
0%
All the above

Explanation

A. Reciprocal of a number is the number divided by

$1$ . So

$1$ and

$-1$ when divided by

$1$ give the same result.

Hence, True.

B. When

$1$ is divided by

$0$ , the result is not defined. Hence, no reciprocal of zero.

C. When a rational number is multiplied, add or subtracted by any rational number, result is a rational number. For division, denominator must not be zero.

Hence, all the above statements are correct.

Name the property of multiplication illustrated by

$\displaystyle \frac{-4}{3} \times \left(\displaystyle \frac{6}{5} + \frac{8}{7} \right) = \left(\displaystyle \frac{-4}{3} \times \frac{6}{5} \right) + \left(\displaystyle \frac{-4}{3} \times \frac{8}{7} \right)$

0%
Associative property
0%
Commutative property
0%
Distributive property
0%
None of these

Explanation

We know that for

$a , b , c$ in

$R$ ;the distributive property is given by,

$a ( b + c ) = a b + a c$ .

$\therefore - \dfrac{4}{3} \times \left ( \dfrac{6}{5} + \dfrac{8}{7} \right) = \left ( \dfrac{-4}{3} \times \dfrac{6}{5} \right ) + \left ( -\dfrac{4}{3} \times \dfrac{8}{7} \right)$

can be illustrated by distributive property considering

$a = - \dfrac{4}{3} ; \, b = \dfrac{6}{5} ; \, c = \dfrac{8}{7}$

Hence, option C distributive property is correct answer.

Explanation

Given rational number is

$\left( \cfrac { 1 }{ 3 }\right ) ^{ -2}$

To find out,

The multiplicative inverse of the given rational number.

Let the multiplicate inverse be

$x$ .

We know that, the multiplicative inverse of a number is another number which when multiplied by the original number yields

$1$ as a product.

We also know that,

$\left( \cfrac { a }{ b }\right ) ^{ -m}=\left( \cfrac { b}{ a }\right ) ^{ m}$

$\therefore\ \left( \cfrac { 1 }{ 3 }\right ) ^{ -2} =3^{ 2 }$

$= 9$

Now,

$9\times x=1$

$\therefore \ x=\dfrac19$

Hence, the multiplicative inverse of

$\left( \cfrac { 1 }{ 3 }\right ) ^{ -2}$ is

$\cfrac 19$ .

0%
$\displaystyle \frac{47}{75}$
0%
$\displaystyle \frac{49}{75}$
0%
$\displaystyle \frac{50}{75}$

Explanation

For

$\dfrac{3}{5}$ multiply numerator and denominator by

$15$ to make denominator

$75$ that comes into

$\dfrac{45}{75}.$
Similarly doing for second then we have

$\dfrac{50}{75}.$
Now question is asking about rational lying between them.

So, we need to check the numerator only that lies in between

$45$ and

$50$ or not.
Clearly

$D$ is correct.

0%
$\displaystyle\frac{47}{75}$
0%
$\displaystyle\frac{49}{75}$
0%
$\displaystyle\frac{50}{75}$

Explanation

Consider the given rational numbers,

$\dfrac{3}{5}$ and $\dfrac{2}{3}$

Now,

$\dfrac{3\times 15}{5\times 15}$ and $\dfrac{2\times 25}{3\times 25}$

$\dfrac{45}{75}$ and $\dfrac{50}{75}$

Now, rational number which does not lie between thes rational numbers is,

$\dfrac{50}{75}$

Hence, this is the answer.

$\displaystyle\frac{1}{2},\,\displaystyle\frac{1}{4}$ and $\displaystyle\frac{7}{4}$

Explanation

The mean of

$0$ and

$1$ is

$\cfrac{0+1}{2}=\cfrac{1}{2}$ .

The mean of

$0$ and

$\cfrac{1}{2}$ is

$\begin{pmatrix}0+\cfrac{1}{2}\end{pmatrix}\div2=\cfrac{1}{2}\div2=\cfrac{1}{2}\times\cfrac{1}{2}=\cfrac{1}{4}$

The mean of

$\cfrac{1}{2}$ and

$1$ is

$\begin{pmatrix}\cfrac{1}{2}+1\end{pmatrix}\div2$

$=\begin{pmatrix}\cfrac{1+2}{2}\end{pmatrix}\div2=\cfrac{3}{2}\div2=\cfrac{3}{2}\times\cfrac{1}{2}=\cfrac{3}{4}$ .

So, the

$3$ rational numbers between

Explanation

Convert the rational numbers into equivalent rational numbers with the same denominator.

LCM of

$9$ and

$5$ is

$45$ .

$-\displaystyle\frac{1}{9}=\displaystyle\frac{-1\times5}{9\times5}=\displaystyle\frac{-5}{45}$ and

$\displaystyle\frac{1}{5}=\displaystyle\frac{1\times9}{5\times9}=\displaystyle\frac{9}{45}$

The integers between

$-5$ and

$9$ are

$-4,\,-3,\,-2,\,-1,\,0,\,1,\,2,\,3,\,4,\,5,\,6,\,7,\,8$ .

The corresponding rational numbers are

$\displaystyle\frac{-4}{45},\,\displaystyle\frac{-3}{45},\,\displaystyle\frac{-2}{45},\,\displaystyle\frac{-1}{45},\,\displaystyle\frac{0}{45},\,\displaystyle\frac{1}{45},\,\displaystyle\frac{2}{45},\,\displaystyle\frac{3}{45},\,\displaystyle\frac{4}{45},\,\displaystyle\frac{5}{45},\,\displaystyle\frac{6}{45},\,\displaystyle\frac{7}{45},\,\displaystyle\frac{8}{45}$

Explanation

$\displaystyle \frac{5}{8}$ =

$\displaystyle \frac{5\times 2}{8\times 2}$ =

$\displaystyle \frac{5\times 3}{8\times 3}$ =

$\displaystyle \frac{5\times 4}{8\times 4}$ =

$\displaystyle \frac{5\times 5}{8\times 5}$

$\displaystyle \therefore \frac{5}{8}$ =

$\displaystyle \frac{10}{16}$ =

$\displaystyle \frac{15}{24}$ =

$\displaystyle \frac{20}{32}$ =

$\displaystyle \frac{25}{40}$

Explanation

$\dfrac {4}{3} \times \left (x + \dfrac {1}{13} \right ) = \dfrac {4}{3}\times x + \dfrac {4}{3} \times \dfrac {1}{13}$

The distributive property over addition for rational numbers states that for any three rational numbers

$a, b$ and

$c :$

$a (b + c) = (a\times b) + (a\times c)$

$\dfrac {4}{3}\times \dfrac {8}{11} + \dfrac {4}{3} \times \dfrac {1}{13} = \dfrac {4}{3} \times \left (\dfrac {8}{11} \times \dfrac {1}{13}\right )$

Simplify using associative property :

$\dfrac {7}{16} \times \left (\dfrac {-24}{49} \times \dfrac {28}{15}\right )$

Explanation

$\dfrac {7}{16} \times \left (\dfrac {-24}{49} \times \dfrac {28}{15}\right ) = \left (\dfrac {7}{16}\times \dfrac {-24}{49}\right ) \times \dfrac {28}{15}$ (associative property)

$= \left (\dfrac {1}{2} \times \dfrac {-3}{7}\right )\times \dfrac {28}{15}$

$= \dfrac {-3}{14} \times \dfrac {28}{15}$

$= \dfrac {-2}{5}$

Explanation

$\dfrac {6}{11} \times \left [\left (\dfrac {-7}{6}\right ) - \left (\dfrac {11}{7}\right )\right ]$

$= \dfrac {6}{11} \times \dfrac {-7}{6} - \dfrac {6}{11}\times \dfrac {11}{7}$ (

$\because$ distributive property)

$= \dfrac {-7}{11} - \dfrac {6}{7}$

$= \dfrac {-49 - 66}{77}$

$= \dfrac {-115}{77}$ .
