Solution:

Question 1.
By what number should we multiply $$\frac{3}{-14}$$, so that the product may be $$\frac{5}{12}$$
Solution:
Let the number to be multiplied by x

∴ The number to be multiplied = $$\frac{-35}{18}$$

Question 2.
Simplify

Solution:

Exercise 1.2

Question 1.
Verify addition of rational number is closed using $$\frac{1}{4}$$ and $$\frac{2}{3}$$
Solution:

∴ Addition of rational numbers is closed

Question 2.
Is subtraction is commutative for rational numbers. Given an example.
Solution:
No, subtraction is not commutative for rational numbers.
Example: Let a = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ and b = $$\frac{5}{6}$$

From (1) and (2)
a – b ≠ b – a for rational numbers

Question 1.
Verify associative property for addition of rational numbers for a = $$\frac{5}{6}$$, b = $$\frac{-3}{4}$$, c = $$\frac{4}{7}$$
Solution:
Given a = $$\frac{5}{6}$$, b = $$\frac{-3}{4}$$, c = $$\frac{4}{7}$$

From (1) and (2) we have (a + b) + c = a + (b + c)
∴ Associative property is true for addition of rational numbers.

Question 2.
Verify distributive property of multiplication over addition for the rational numbers a = $$\frac{3}{4}$$, b = $$\frac{-2}{3}$$, c = $$\frac{3}{7}$$
Solution:
Given a = $$\frac{3}{4}$$, b = $$\frac{-2}{3}$$, c = $$\frac{3}{7}$$
To verify a × (b + c) = (a × b) + (a × c)

From (1) and (2)
a × (b + c) = (a × b) + (a × c)
∴ Distributive property of multiplication over addition is true for the given rational numbers.
