• B. $\frac{-12}{15}$
• C. $\frac{-13}{15}$
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{-11}{15}$

$\frac{11}{24}$ and $\frac{-5}{8}$ are rational numbers.

$\frac{11}{24}÷\frac{-5}{8}$ = $\frac{11}{24}\times \frac{8}{-5}$

$=\frac{11\times 8}{24\times (-5)}$ $=\frac{-11}{15}$

$\frac{-11}{15}$ is a rational number.

So, option A is correct.
