Between any two rational numbers,

0%
there is no rational number
0%
there is exactly one rational number
0%
there are infinitely many rational numbers
0%
there are only rational numbers and no irrational numbers

Explanation

Recall that to find a rational number between

$r$ and

$s,$ you can add

$r$ and

$s$ and divide the sum by

$2,$ that is

$\displaystyle \frac { r+s }{ 2 }$ lies between r and s.

For example,

$\displaystyle \frac { 5 }{ 2 }$ is a number between

$2$ and

$3.$ We can proceed in this manner to find many more rational numbers between

$2$ and

$3.$

Hence, we can conclude that there are infinitely many rational numbers between any two given rational numbers.

Explanation

The multiplicative inverse for any number

$n$ is

$\dfrac {1}{n}$ where

$n\ne0.$ The product of a number and its multiplicative inverse is

$1$ .

Let us take a number

$n=\dfrac {-19}{29}$ , then according to the definition, the multiplicative inverse of

$n$ is

$\dfrac { 1 }{ n } =\dfrac { 29 }{ -19 }$

Now consider the product of

$n$ and

$\dfrac {1}{n}$ as follows:

$\dfrac { -19 }{ 29 } \times \dfrac { 29 }{ -19 } =1$

Hence, multiplicative inverse property is used in

$\dfrac { -19 }{ 29 } \times \dfrac { 29 }{ -19 } =1$

A rational number between

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}$ and

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{3}$ is

All the above

Explanation

$\dfrac{1}{4} = \dfrac{6}{24} = \dfrac{12}{48}$

$\dfrac{1}{3} = \dfrac{8}{24} = \dfrac{16}{48}$

From this, we can see

$\dfrac{7}{24} , \dfrac{13}{48}, \dfrac{16}{48}$ all lie between

$\dfrac{1}{4}$ and

$\dfrac{1}{3}$

Choose the rational number which lie between rational numbers

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

$-\dfrac{1}{5}$ .

0%
$-\dfrac{1}{4}$
0%
$-\dfrac{3}{10}$
0%
$\dfrac{3}{10}$
0%
$-\dfrac{7}{20}$

Explanation

Let

$p$ be a rational number between

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

$-\dfrac {1}{5}$

$p= \dfrac {-\dfrac {2}{5} + (-\dfrac {1}{5})}{2} \\= -\dfrac {3}{10}$

Let

$m$ be an another rational number between

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

$-\dfrac {3}{10}$

$m= \dfrac {-\dfrac {2}{5} + (-\dfrac {3}{10})}{2} \\= -\dfrac {7}{20}$

Let

$q$ be an another rational number between

$-\dfrac {1}{5}$ and

$-\dfrac {3}{10}$

$q= \dfrac {-\dfrac {1}{5} + (-\dfrac {3}{10})}{2} \\= -\dfrac {1}{4}$

Hence, required rational numbers between

$(-\dfrac {2}{5})$ and

$(-\dfrac {1}{5})$ are

$(-\dfrac {3}{10}) ,(-\dfrac {7}{20}), (-\dfrac {1}{4})$

For a rational number to lie between

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

$\dfrac{-1}{5}$ ,it should be less than

$\dfrac{-1}{5}$ and greater than

$\dfrac{-2}{5}$ .
Now,

$\dfrac{3}{10}$ is not less than

$\dfrac{-1}{5}$ .
So,

$\dfrac{3}{10}$ does not lie between

$\dfrac{-1}{5}$ and

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

0%
$\displaystyle \frac{-a}{b}$

Explanation

$\therefore$ p + (-P) = (-P) + P = 0 is the additive inverse property.
So additive inverse of

$\displaystyle \frac{-a}{b}$ is

$\displaystyle \frac{a}{b}$

Which one of the following is the rational number lying between

0%
$\displaystyle\frac{-5}{9};\;\displaystyle\frac{13}{7};\;\displaystyle\frac{5}{11};\;\displaystyle\frac{-11}{14}$

Explanation

The additive inverse of

$\displaystyle\frac{4}{9}$ is

$-\displaystyle\frac{4}{9}=\displaystyle\frac{-4}{9}$

The additive inverse of

$\displaystyle\frac{-13}{7}$ is

$-\begin{pmatrix}\displaystyle\frac{-13}{7}\end{pmatrix}=-\begin{pmatrix}-\displaystyle\frac{13}{7}\end{pmatrix}=\displaystyle\frac{13}{7}$

We have,

$\displaystyle\frac{5}{-11}=\displaystyle\frac{-5}{11}$
The additive inverse of

$\displaystyle\frac{-5}{11}$ is

$-\begin{pmatrix}\displaystyle\frac{-5}{11}\end{pmatrix}$

$=-\begin{pmatrix}-\displaystyle\frac{5}{11}\end{pmatrix}=\displaystyle\frac{5}{11}$

We have,

$\displaystyle\frac{-11}{-14}=\displaystyle\frac{11}{14}$
The additive inverse of

$\displaystyle\frac{11}{14}$ is

$-\begin{pmatrix}\displaystyle\frac{11}{14}\end{pmatrix}$

$=\displaystyle\frac{-11}{14}$

Which of the following statement is true about a rational number

$\displaystyle \frac{-2}{3}$ ?

0%
It lies to the left side of $'0'$ on the number line.
0%
It lies to the right side of $'0'$ on the number line.
0%
It is not possible to represent on the number line.
0%
It cannot be determined on which side the number lies.

Explanation

We know that every positive number occupies space right to the origin while the negative numbers are present on the left side of the origin. Let us learn to represent a rational number on a number line with few steps.

(i) Draw a line and locate the point having the coordinate as

$0$ . This point is known as the origin.

If the given number is positive, locate it on the right side of the origin. If it is a negative number, locate it on the left side of zero.

Divide each unit into the values which are equal to the denominator of the fraction. For example: for representing

$\dfrac {4}{5}$ on the number line you need to divide each unit into

$5$ subunits.

Similarly,

$\dfrac {-2}{3}$ is a negative rational number and it is known that

$\dfrac {-2}{3}$ is greater than

$-1$ and less than

$0$ . Therefore,

$\dfrac {-2}{3}$ lies between

$0$ and

$-1$ and on the left side of '0' on the number line.

Hence,

$\dfrac {-2}{3}$ lies to the left side of '0' on the number line.

Explanation

Rational numbers are closed under subtraction.Because if we subtract a rational number with another rational number we will get rational number. For example

$45 - 35 = 10$ , which is also a rational number.

What is the additive inverse of

$\displaystyle\frac{a}{b}$ ?

0%
$\dfrac{-a}{b}$
0%
$\dfrac{b}{a}$
0%
$\dfrac{-b}{a}$
0%
$\dfrac{a}{b}$

Explanation

The additive inverse of a number is what you add to a number to create the sum of zero.

So in other words, the additive inverse of

$x$ is another number,

$y$ , as long as the sum of

$x + y$ equals zero.

The additive inverse of

$x$ is equal and opposite in sign to it (so,

$y = -x$ or vice versa).

Let the additive inverse of

$\cfrac{a}{b}$ be

$z$ . Then,

$\cfrac{a}{b}+z=0$

$=>z=-\cfrac{a}{b}$
