Question 90 (b)

Given that, $\frac{p}{q}$ and $\frac{r}{s}$ are two rational numbers with different denominators and both of them are in standard form. To compare these rational numbers, we say that
$\frac{p}{q} = \frac{r}{s}$ is _ = _

Open in App

Solution

Given, $\frac{p}{q} = \frac{r}{s}$
$\Rightarrow p \times s = r \times q$ [by cross-multiplication]
