Question

$\frac{-3}{5}and\frac{3}{-5}$ are ____________ rational numbers.

Answer 1

Given rational numbers are $\frac{-3}{5}and\frac{3}{-5}$

Equivalent rational numbers are rational numbers that have the same value but can be represented in different forms.

Here $\frac{-3}{5}and\frac{3}{-5}$ are equivalent rational numbers because they have the same value but in a different forms

$$\begin{gathered} \frac{-3}{5}=\frac{-3}{5} \\ and\frac{3}{-5}=\frac{3\times (-1)}{-5\times (-1)}=\frac{-3}{5} \end{gathered}$$

Hence, given rational numbers are equivalent.
