Rational Numbers in Mathematics

MODULE 1/3

 =  { .  . .  – 5, − 4, − 3, − 2, − 1, 0 , 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, …}
Rational Numbers:
To write 500m above sea level in km, we say 500/1000 km
=1/2 km
But to represent 500 m below sea level in km in a number, we
need to extend the number system by including such numbers.
Those numbers are named as Rational Numbers
.
A 
Rational number
 is defined as a number that can be
expressed in the form  of p/q , where p and q are integers and
q ≠ o
Set of Rational Numbers is denoted by   ‘ 
Q
Which of the following are rational numbers.
Positive rational Numbers 
: If both the numerator and the denominator
have the same sign, then the rational numbers are said to be 
positive
rational numbers.
 Ex: (- 8)/(- 17)  ,  (- 13)/(-  11)  ,  9/5  …  are positive rational numbers
 
Negative Rational Numbers 
:  If the numerator and the denominator have
the different    signs, then the rational numbers are said to be negative
rational numbers.
Ex:4/(- 5)  ,  (-9)/10 , (-17)/3  . . . are negative rational numbers
Zero is neither  positive nor negative rational number.
 
3 is a rational number , it can be written as 3/1
Separate positive rational numbers and negative rational numbers from
the following :
Zero is neither positive nor negative
Representation
 
of  (- 7)/(4 ) and 7/(4 ) on Number line
 
EQUIVALENT RATIONAL NUMBERS 
:
By multiplying or dividing the numerator and denominator of a
rational number by a same non zero integer, we obtain another
rational number equivalent to the given rational number. The
rational numbers so obtained are  equivalent to  given rational
number.

  1. ATOMIC ENERGY EDUCATION SOCIETY , MUMBAI DISTANCE LEARNING PROGRAMME 2020- 21 CLASS : 7 SUB : MATHEMATICS TOPIC: RATIONAL NUMBERS

  2. MODULE 1/3 INTRODUCTION : We begin the study of numbers by counting the objects around us. They are counting numbers and are called Natural Numbers NATURAL NUMBERS : The numbers used for counting are called Natural numbers i.e the numbers 1,2 3, 4 . . . are Natural Numbers. The Set of Natural numbers is denoted by N N = {1, 2 , 3, 4, 5, 6 }

  3. Whole numbers: 0 and all-Natural Numbers are called Whole Numbers i.e, 0,1.2.3 ,5. . . are whole numbers The Set of Whole Numbers is denoted by W. W = {0,1, 2 , 3, 4, 5, 6 }

  4. Integers : A collection of negative numbers and all whole numbers together are called Integers Set of Integers is denoted by Z Z = { . . . 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 , 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, }

  5. Rational Numbers: To write 500m above sea level in km, we say 500/1000 km =1/2 km But to represent 500 m below sea level in km in a number, we need to extend the number system by including such numbers. Those numbers are named as Rational Numbers. A Rational number is defined as a number that can be expressed in the form of p/q , where p and q are integers and q o Set of Rational Numbers is denoted by Q

  6. Which of the following are rational numbers. (i) 0 5 ANS: Rational Number (??)3 0 ANS: Not a Rational Number (denominator zero is not defined) (iii) 13 23 ANS: Rational Number

  7. Positive rational Numbers : If both the numerator and the denominator have the same sign, then the rational numbers are said to be positive rational numbers. Ex: (- 8)/(- 17) , (- 13)/(- 11) , 9/5 are positive rational numbers Negative Rational Numbers : If the numerator and the denominator have the different signs, then the rational numbers are said to be negative rational numbers. Ex:4/(- 5) , (-9)/10 , (-17)/3 . . . are negative rational numbers Zero is neither positive nor negative rational number. 3 is a rational number , it can be written as 3/1

  8. Separate positive rational numbers and negative rational numbers from the following : Type equation here.Solution : Positive rational numbers: 3 5 ,3 5, 13 3 Negative rational numbers are 3 5, 3 5 , 15 15 8 8 and Zero is neither positive nor negative

  9. Representation of Rational Numbers on Number line: Ex : Locate 1 1 2lies between 1 and 0 which is exactly half distance from 1 and 0 2 and 1 2 on the Number Line Representationof (- 7)/(4 ) and 7/(4 ) on Number line

  10. EQUIVALENT RATIONAL NUMBERS : By multiplying or dividing the numerator and denominator of a rational number by a same non zero integer, we obtain another rational number equivalent to the given rational number. The rational numbers so obtained are equivalent to given rational number. so the rational numbers 4 6, 6 to 2 8 12 , 10 15 are equivalent 9 3

  11. A Rational Number ? integer and a and b are coprimes. ? is said to be in standard form if b is a positive

  12. WORKED OUT EXAMPLES: Ex: write the following in standard form. (i) 4 5= ii) 48 5 1 45 3 = 16 119 = 68 ( 17) 4 1= 4 5 45 = 48 3 (iii) 68 15 119 ( 17)=4 7
