A comprehensive overview of working with rational numbers, including how to write them in standard form, compare their magnitudes, and perform basic operations. It covers key concepts such as finding the highest common factor (hcf) to simplify rational numbers, identifying the multiplicative inverse, and understanding the relationship between positive and negative rational numbers on the number line. The document also includes several practice problems with step-by-step solutions, allowing readers to apply the principles learned. This resource would be valuable for students studying algebra, number theory, or pre-calculus, as it strengthens their understanding of fundamental properties and operations involving rational numbers.

Q41. Which of the following pairs of ra onal numbers are on the opposite side of the zero on the number line?
None of these.
1 Mark
Ans: 3. Solu on: The ra onal numbers are posi ve ra onal numbers. We know that every posi ve ra onal number is greater than 0, so both the ra onal numbers are represented by points on the right of the zero on the number line. The ra onal numbers are nega ve ra onal numbers. We know that every nega ve ra onal number is less than 0, so both the ra onal numbers are represented by points on the le of the zero on the number line. The ra onal numbers is a posi ve ra onal number whereas the ra onal number is a nega ve ra onal numbers. We know that every nega ve ra onal number is less than 0 and every posi ve ra onal number is greater than 0, so the ra onal number is represented by point on the right of the zero and is represented by point on the le of the zero on the number line. Thus, the ra onal numbers are on the opposite side of the zero on the number line. Hence, the correct answer is op on (c).
