Question 6 (vi)

Which of the following pairs represent the same rational numbers:
$\frac{1}{3}and\frac{-1}{9}$

Answer 1

$\frac{1}{3}and\frac{-1}{9}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{3}and\frac{-1}{9}=\frac{-1}{9}$ [Coverting into lowest term]
$\because \frac{1}{3}\ne \frac{-1}{9}\therefore \frac{1}{3}\ne \frac{-1}{9}$
