Question

Which of the following rational numbers are negative?
(i) $\frac{-3}{7}$
(ii) $\frac{-5}{-8}$
(iii) $\frac{9}{-83}$
(iv) $\frac{-115}{-197}$

Answer 1

The numbers can be rewritten as:
$$\begin{gathered} \left(i\right)-\frac{3}{7} \\ \left(ii\right)\frac{5}{8} \\ \left(iii\right)-\frac{9}{83} \\ \left(iv\right)\frac{115}{197} \end{gathered}$$

Negative rational numbers are (i) and (iii).
