Best answer

(i) Given (5/7)

To get denominator -14 we have to multiply both numerator and denominator by -2

Then we get, (5/7) × (-2/-2)

= (-10/-14)

Therefore (5/7) as a rational number with denominator -14 is (-10/-14)

(ii) Given (5/7)

To get denominator 70 we have to multiply both numerator and denominator by -2

Then we get, (5/7) × (10/10)

= (50/70)

Therefore (5/7) as a rational number with denominator 70 is (50/70)

(iii) Given (5/7)

To get denominator -28 we have to multiply both numerator and denominator by -4

Then we get, (5/7) × (-4/-4)

= (-20/-28)

Therefore (5/7) as a rational number with denominator -28 is (-20/-28)

(iv) Given (5/7)

To get denominator -84 we have to multiply both numerator and denominator by -12

Then we get, (5/7) × (-12/-12)

= (-60/-84)

Therefore (5/7) as a rational number with denominator -84 is (-60/-84)
