Question 22

Which of the following is an example of distributive property of multiplication over addition for rational numbers.
(a) $- \frac{1}{4} \times {\frac{2}{3} + (\frac{- 4}{7})} = [- \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{2}{3}] + [- \frac{1}{4} \times (\frac{- 4}{7})]$
(b) $- \frac{1}{4} \times {\frac{2}{3} + (\frac{- 4}{7})} = [\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{2}{3}] - (\frac{- 4}{7})$
(c) $- \frac{1}{4} \times {\frac{2}{3} + (\frac{- 4}{7})} = \frac{2}{3} + (- \frac{1}{4}) \times \frac{- 4}{7}$
(d) $- \frac{1}{4} \times {\frac{2}{3} + (\frac{- 4}{7})} = {\frac{2}{3} + (\frac{- 4}{7})} - \frac{1}{4}$

Jimmy learnt the concepts of mixed fractions and improper fractions. He had a thought and wanted to confirm it with his teacher. He wrote the following steps on a paper:

$9 \frac{3}{4} = 9 + \frac{3}{4} = (8 + 1) + \frac{3}{4} = 8 + (1 + \frac{3}{4}) = 8 + \frac{7}{4} = 8 \frac{7}{4}$

Jimmy says that $8 \frac{7}{4}$ is a mixed fraction. Choose the correct option(s):

Q. Represent the following fractions:

\frac{1}{4}, \frac{7}{4}, - \frac{3}{4}

and

- \frac{9}{4}

on a number line.

Q. Pick out the greatest fraction.

4 \frac{1}{3}, 2 \frac{19}{17}, 7 \frac{4}{8}, 6 \frac{1}{7}

Q. Simplify :

\frac{2 \frac{3}{4}}{1 \frac{5}{6}} \div \frac{7}{8} \times (\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{4}) + \frac{5}{7} \div \frac{3}{4}
