Question 110
What's the Error?
Chhaya simplified a rational number is this manner −25−30=−56. What error did the student make?
If a negative (-) sign comes in both numerator and denominator, then it will be cancelled. So, the resulting fraction will be positive.
∴−25−30=2530=56
Here, Chhaya divided numerator by 5 but denominator by -5.
