we see that

∴ Five rational numbers between -1 and 0 are

ii) -2 and -1
Solution:

we see that

∴ Five Rational Numbers between -2 and -1 are

iii)

Solution:

we see that

Thus five rational numbers between

iv)

Solution:

we see that

Thus 5 Rational Numbers in between \(\frac{1}{2}\) and \(\frac{2}{3}\) are

![]()
Question 2.
Write four more rational numbers in each of the following patterns :
i)

Solution:

Thus we came to know the pattern in the above numbers ie., both numerator and denominator should be multiplied by same whole number.
∴ The four more rational numbers would be

ii)

Solution:

Thus we observe the pattern in these numbers.
The other numbers would be,

iii)

Solution:

Thus we observe the pattern in these numbers. The other numbers would be,

iv)

Solution:

Thus we observe the pattern in these numbers
The other numbers would be

respectively.
![]()
Question 6.
Which of the following pairs represent the same rational number ?
i)

Solution:
\(\frac{-7}{21}\) is negative rational number and \(\frac{3}{9}\) is a positive Rational Number. Therefore this pair does not represent the same rational number.
ii)

Solution:

∴ The above pair of numbers represent the same rational number.
iii)

Solution:

∴ The above pair of numbers represent the same rational number.
iv)

Solution:
![]()
∴ The above pair of numbers represent the same rational number.
v)

Solution:
![]()
∴ The above pair of numbers represent the same rational number.
![]()
vi)
![]()
Solution:
\(\frac{1}{3}\) is a positive rational number and \(\frac{-1}{9}\) is a negative Rational Number.
Therefore this pair does not represent the same rational number.
vii)

Solution:
is a positive rational number and \(\frac{5}{-9}\) is a negative rational number.
Question 7.
Rewrite the following rational numbers in the simplest form :
i) \(\frac{-8}{6}\)
The H. C. F of 6 and 8 is 2.
Then its simplest form would be,

ii) \(\frac{25}{45}\)
The H. C. F of 25 and 45 is 5.
Then its simplest form would be,

iii) \(\frac{-44}{72}\)
The H. C. F of 44 and 72 is 4.
Then its simplest form would be
![]()
iv)
![]()
The H. C. F of 8 and 10 is 2.
Then Its simplest form would be
