Represent rational numbers -7/3 and 7/4 on the same number line.

Question

KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

The rational numbers are and . LCM of 3 and 4 is 2 x 2 x 3 = 12 Hence, the rational number will be- Draw a number line as shown below: In this number line OA = AB = ........... = OA' = A'B' = 1 unit Since, the denominator of each given rational numbers is 12, divide each of OA, AB,...,OA', A'B', etc. into twelve equal parts. To represent , moves one step towards the right side of O to reach point P as shown. Hence, OA = 1 unit , therefore OP = unit and so P represents . In the same way, to represent , move 4 steps toward the left side of B' to reach point Q. Clearly, Q represents . Similarly, to represent , move 9 steps toward the right side of A to reach point R. Clearly, R represents .
