Question 1: Find the additive inverse of the following:

(i) 22/4 (ii) ⅜ (iii) – 24/–5 (iv) 17/(– 6)

Solution:

(i) 22/4

The additive inverse of 22/4 is – 22/4 or – 11/2.

(ii) ⅜

The additive inverse of ⅜ is – ⅜.

(iii) – 24/–5

The additive inverse of –24/–5 or 24/5 is – 24/5.

(iv) 17/(– 6)

The additive inverse of 17/(–6) or – 17/6 is 17/6.

Question 2: Find the multiplicative inverse of the following:

(i) 18/7 (ii) 34/6 (iii) 29/3 (iv) –6/7

Solution:

(i) 18/7

The multiplicative inverse of 18/7 is 7/18.

(ii) 34/6

The multiplicative inverse of 34/6 is 6/34 or 3/17.

(iii) 29/3

The multiplicative inverse of 29/3 is 3/29.

(iv) –6/7

The multiplicative inverse of –6/7 is –7/6.

Question 3: Evaluate:
(𝑖)215−179+35−203
(𝑖𝑖)254105×15127−150169×1315
Solution:

(𝑖)215−179+35−203
=(215+35)+(−179−203)
=(2+915)+(−17−609)
=1115–779=33−38545
=−35245
(𝑖𝑖)254105×15127−150169×1315
=(254105×15127)−(150169×1315)=27−1013
=26−7091=−4491
Question 4: State true or false for the following:

(i) Rational numbers are closed with respect to division.

(ii) Every whole number is a rational number.

(iii) Every integer is a rational number.

(iv) There are infinitely many rational numbers between any two rational numbers.

(v) 1 and –1 are the only rational numbers which are equal to their reciprocal.

Solution:

(i) Rational numbers are closed with respect to division. (False)

(ii) Every whole number is a rational number. (True)

(iii) Every integer is a rational number. (False)

(iv) There are infinitely many rational numbers between any two rational numbers. (True)

(v) 1 and –1 are the only rational numbers which are equal to their reciprocal. (True)

Question 5: Find five rational numbers between ⅔ and ⅘ .

Solution:

We have the equivalent fractions,

⅔ = (2 × 5)/(3 × 5) = 10/15 and ⅘ = (4 × 3)/(5 × 3) = 12/15

To find five rational numbers lets multiply both numerator and denominator of the equivalent
fractions by 5, we get
(10 × 5)/(15 × 5) = 50/75 and (12 × 5)/(15 × 5) = 60/75

Therefore, five rational numbers between ⅔ = 50/75 and ⅘ = 60/75 are

51/75, 52/75, 53/75, 54/75, 55/75.

Question 6: State which property is in the following:

(i) ⅖ + ( –⅚ + ½) = {⅖ + ( –⅚)} + ½

(ii) 3 – 45/7 + 3/2 = (3 + 3/2) – 45/7

(iii) 300 × 45 = (300 × 40) + (300 × 5)

(iv) 2/19 × 19/2 = 1

(v) 3/7 + (–3/7) = 0

Solution:

(i) ⅖ + ( –⅚ + ½) = {⅖ + ( –⅚)} + ½ Associativity

(ii) 3 – 45/7 + 3/2 = (3 + 3/2) – 45/7 Commutativity and associativity

(iii) 300 × 45 = (300 × 40) + (300 × 5) Distributivity of multiplication over addition

(iv) 2/19 × 19/2 = 1 Multiplicative inverse

(v) 3/7 + (–3/7) = 0 Additive inverse

Question 7: Find ten rational numbers between 2 and 3.

Solution:

Multiply and divide both the numbers by 11, we get


(2 × 11)/11 = 22/11 and (3 × 11)/11 = 33/11

Rational numbers between 2 = 22/11 and 3 = 33/11 are:

23/11, 24/11, 25/11, 26/11, 27/11, 28/11, 29/11, 30/11, 31/11, 32/11.
