Question

Multiply:
xi)$\frac{27}{28}$ and $-14$

Answer 1

Step : Multiplying the given rational numbers
Given: $\frac{27}{28}$ and $-14$
$\because$ product of two rational numbers

$=\frac{productofthenumberators}{productofthedenominators}$

$=\frac{27}{28}\times \frac{-14}{1}$
$=\frac{27\times (-14)}{28\times 1}$
$=-\frac{27\times 14}{14\times 2}$
$=-\frac{27}{2}=-13\frac{1}{2}$
Hence, the required product is $-13\frac{1}{2}$.
