Chapter – 9

1. Select the correct options from the following sentences –

(i) All natural numbers are integers.

Ans: True.

(ii) An integer may not be a natural number.

Ans: True.

(iii) If a number is rational then the number must be an integer.

Ans: False.

(iv) There are infinite numbers of rational numbers between two integers.

Ans: True.

(v) All fractions are integers.

Ans: False.

(vi) All fractions are rational numbers.

Ans: True.

(vii) 0 is a rational number.

Ans: True.

(viii) Each integer is rational.

Ans: True.

2. Write 3 equal rational numbers for the following fractions. (Keep in mind that there are infinite numbers of equivalent rational number for every number)

(i) -4/5

Ans: – 4/5 = (-4 × 2)/(2 × 5) = -8/10

-4/5 = (-4 × 3)/(3 × 5) = -12/15

-4/5 = (-4 × 4)/(4 × 5) = -16/20

(ii) 2/-3

Ans: 2/-3 = (2 × 2)/(2 × -3) = -4/6

2/-3 = (2 × 3)/(2 × -3) = -6/9

2/-3 = (2 × 4)/(2 × -3) = -8/12

(iii) -7/21

Ans: -7/21 = -7×1/21 ×1 = -1/3 

-7/21 = (-7 × 2)/(21 × 2) = -14/42

-7/21 = (-7 × 3)/(21 × 13) = -21/63

(iv) 1/-9

Ans: 1/-9 = (1 × 2)/(-9 × 2) = 2/-18

1/-9 = (1 × 3)/(-9× 3) = -3/27

1/-9 = (1 × 4)/(-9 × 4) = -4/36

(v) 40/64

Ans: 40/64 = (40 x 2)/(64 x 2) = 80/128

40/64 = (40 x 3)/(64 x 3) = 120/192

40/64 = (40 x 4)/(64 x 4) = 160/256

3. Are the following pairs equal?

(i) -3/13, 6/-26

Ans: Yes.

× = 9 × 40/9

× = 40

(ii) 7/-14

Ans: 7/-14 = 7/(-7 × 2) = -1/2 

(iii) 25/-45

Ans: 25/-45 = (5 × 5)/(-5 × 9) = -5/9

(iv) 2 3/7

Ans: 2 3/7

(v) -18/10

Ans: -18/10 = (-2 × 9)/(2 × 5) = -9/5

6. Which is smaller in each of the pair of the following rational numbers.

(a) 7/14, -2/4

Ans: 7/14 = (7 × 2)/(14 × 2) = 14/28

-2/4 = (-2 × 7)/(4 × 7) = -14/28

∴ -2/4 Smaller Number.

(b) -1/3, -2/5 

Ans: -1/3 = (-1 × 5)/(3 × 5) = -5/15

-2/5 = (-2 × 3)/(5 × 3) = -6/15

∴ -6/15 < -5/15

∴ -2/5 < -1/3 ∴ -2/5 Smaller Number.

(c) -8/5, -7/4

Ans: -8/5 = (-8 × 4)/(5 × 4) = -32/20

-7/4 = (-7 × 5)/(4 × 5) = -35/20

Now, -35/20 < -32/20 ∴ -7/4 Smaller Number.

(d) -2/-3, 16/12

Ans: -2/-3 = 2/3 = (2 × 2)/(2 × 3) = 4/6

16/12 = 4/3

∴ -2/-3 Smaller Number.

7. Write 5 rational number between the following pair of numbers. (Keep in mind that there are several rational numbers in each of the following pairs)

(i) -1 and 1

Ans: 5 rational numbers between -1 and 1

Let, a = – 1 b = 1 a < b n = 5

d = 1 – (-1)/(5 + 1) = 2/6 = 1/3 

∴ -1 + 1 × 1/3, -1 + 2 × 1/3, -1 + 3 × 1/3, -1 + 4 × 1/3, – 1 × 5 × 1/3 

⇒ (-3 + 1)/3, (-3 + 2)/3, -1 + 1, (-3 + 4)/3, (-3 + 5)/3

⇒ -2/3, -1/3, 0, 1/3, 2/3

(ii) -3/4, 3/4

Ans: 

(iii) -3, -2

Ans: The 5 rational numbers between –3 and –2 

Are- -2.1, -2.2,-2.3, -2.5.

(iv) -2/5, -2/3

Ans: -2/5, -2/3 

-2 / 5 = 2 × 3/ 5  × 3 = – 6/ 15

-⅔ = -2 × 5 / 3  × 5 = – 10 / 15 

∴ The rational numbers are- -7/15 , -8/15 , – 8 .1/15 , -8.2/15 , -8.3/15

(v) 5/8, 3/7

Ans: 5/8, 3/7

5/8 = 0.625 = 0.63

3/7 = 0.428 = 0.43

∴ The rational numbers are- 0.44, 0.45, 0.46, 0.47, 0.62
