Which are positive rational numbers? (i) -7/8 (ii) -13/17 (iii)-8/-11 (iv)0/8 (v)0/-7

Question

KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

(i) ⇒ The numerator is negative and the denominator is positive (opposite signs), making it a negative rational number. Hence, it is not a positive rational number. (ii) ⇒ The signs are opposite, so it is a negative rational number. Hence, it is not a positive rational number. (iii) ⇒ Both the numerator and denominator are negative, the signs cancel out (), making the value positive. Hence, it is a positive rational number. (iv) ⇒ The value is 0, and zero is neither positive nor negative. Hence, it is not a positive rational number. (v) ⇒ The value is 0, and zero is neither positive nor negative. Hence, it is not a positive rational number.
