The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problems, we will use the property of division of rational numbers. The property states that if \( a \div b = c \), then \( a = b \times c \). We will rearrange the equations to find the missing values. ### Solution Steps: (i) **Given:** \[ \frac{9}{8} \div \text{(blank)} = \frac{-3}{2} \] **Step 1:** Rearranging the equation: \[ \text{(blank)} = \frac{9}{8} \div \frac{-3}{2} \] **Step 2:** Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal: \[ \text{(blank)} = \frac{9}{8} \times \frac{-2}{3} \] **Step 3:** Multiply the fractions: \[ \text{(blank)} = \frac{9 \times -2}{8 \times 3} = \frac{-18}{24} \] **Step 4:** Simplifying the fraction: \[ \text{(blank)} = \frac{-3}{4} \] --- (ii) **Given:** \[ \text{(blank)} \div \frac{-7}{5} = \frac{10}{19} \] **Step 1:** Rearranging the equation: \[ \text{(blank)} = \frac{10}{19} \times \frac{-7}{5} \] **Step 2:** Multiply the fractions: \[ \text{(blank)} = \frac{10 \times -7}{19 \times 5} = \frac{-70}{95} \] **Step 3:** Simplifying the fraction: \[ \text{(blank)} = \frac{-14}{19} \] --- (iii) **Given:** \[ \text{(blank)} \div (-3) = \frac{-4}{15} \] **Step 1:** Rearranging the equation: \[ \text{(blank)} = \frac{-4}{15} \times (-3) \] **Step 2:** Multiply the fractions: \[ \text{(blank)} = \frac{-4 \times -3}{15} = \frac{12}{15} \] **Step 3:** Simplifying the fraction: \[ \text{(blank)} = \frac{4}{5} \] --- (iv) **Given:** \[ -12 \div \text{(blank)} = \frac{-6}{5} \] **Step 1:** Rearranging the equation: \[ \text{(blank)} = -12 \div \frac{-6}{5} \] **Step 2:** Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal: \[ \text{(blank)} = -12 \times \frac{-5}{6} \] **Step 3:** Multiply the numbers: \[ \text{(blank)} = \frac{-12 \times -5}{6} = \frac{60}{6} \] **Step 4:** Simplifying the fraction: \[ \text{(blank)} = 10 \] ### Final Answers: (i) \(\frac{-3}{4}\) (ii) \(\frac{-14}{19}\) (iii) \(\frac{4}{5}\) (iv) \(10\)
